90 ENTOMOLOGY FOR MEDICAL OFFICERS 



tarsal segments of the hind legs entirely white. Palpi with 

 two narrow white bands and a broad apical band. Costa 

 with four " main " dark spots. India (Amritsar and Central 

 provinces). 



Series III. — Cellia, Theobald. 



Including Cellia of Theobald's Monograph, and Christophersia, James. 



The species here included differ from Neocellia only in 

 having (in addition to the general investment of abdominal 

 scales) outstanding tufts of scales on the abdominal segments 

 — these tufts may be either lateral or ventral. The species 

 are Ethiopian, Oriental, and Neotropical ; one enters the 

 confines of the Palaearctic Region, and another just extends 

 to the Australian Region (New Guinea). 



I. African Species. 



Anopheles {Cellia) pharoensis, Theobald. Palpi brown 

 mottled with white, and with two narrow but fairly distinct 

 white bands and white tip. Legs mottled and banded yellow 

 and brown ; in the hind legs the banding of the tarsi is very 

 broad and the last segment is entirely white. Costa with 

 three large dark blotches — the middle of which is the largest 

 — and with a small dark spot at the tip. Common in Africa 

 from Egypt to Delagoa Bay ; also Madagascar and West 

 Africa. 



Anopheles {Cellia) squamosus, Theobald. A dark species. 

 Palpi with two narrow white bands and white tip. Scutum 

 with white scales arranged more or less in stripes. Legs 

 dark brown, mottled with white ; in the hind legs the tarsal 

 segments have terminal white bands, except the last, which is 

 black. Costa black, with three distinct white spots, besides one 

 or two minute spots at base and at tip. From Egypt to the 

 Transvaal ; Madagascar ; West Africa. 



Anopheles {Cellia) jacobii. Hill and Haydon. From South 

 Africa. Is probably identical. 



Anopheles {Cellia) cinctus, Newstead and Carter. Known 

 from one incomplete specimen from West Africa. Distin- 

 guished by the very regularly arranged rings of the ist 

 tarsal segment (" metatarsus ") of the middle and hind legs 

 (the only legs remaining).
