36 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



supernumerary and posterior cross-veins. Halteres with dark 

 knobs. 



Length, — 3 to 4 mm. 



$ . Palpi deep brown swollen apically with scanty hairs, 

 slightly longer than the proboscis; fore ungues unequal, the 

 larger uniserrate ; mid and hind equal and simple. 



First sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second 

 posterior cell, its stem as long as the cell, stem of the second 

 posterior longer than the cell ; mid cross- vein rather more than its 

 own length in front of the supernumerary and posterior. 



Length. — 3 mm. 



Habitat. — South Queensland (Dr. Bancroft). 



Time of capture. — November. 



Observations. — Described from specimens sent me by 

 Dr. Bancroft. They look just like Anopheles bifurcatus at first 

 sight, but can be told at once by the peculiar adornment of the 

 mesonotum, which resembles that of a Corethra. 



The form of the first sub-marginal cell is also characteristic.
