A Monograph of Culicidae. 



the middle of these small spots is the largest and connects with one on 

 the second long vein ; the fourth spot, counting from the apex of the 

 wing includes the sub-costa and first long vein and even the two small 

 ones include the sub-costa, making all these costal spots very distinct. 

 The apex of costa is, however, light. There are two dark spots on 

 anterior fork of second long vein and one on the posterior fork ; two small 

 spots at the bases of the third long vein, one on the anterior fork of the 

 fourth ; a small one near apex of posterior fork, and the stem is dark to 

 posterior cross-vein and after a small white spot, about one-half the way 

 to the base of the vein ; anterior fork of the fifth has three dark spots and 

 there is one near apex on the posterior, also on the stem of the fifth near 

 base of wing ; there are three dark spots on the sixth, one at apex, one 

 near middle and one near the base. A large part of the second and 

 fourth are therefore dark, while the fifth has a large part cream coloured, 

 and a still larger proportion of the third is light. Fringe mottled cream 

 and brown, nearly equally to the sixth long vein, after which it is dark. 

 Dark spots occur in the fringe at the apex of the anterior fork of the 

 second long vein and at the apices of the first posterior, second and third 

 posterior, anal auxiliary and spurious cells with light spots at the apices 

 of each intervening vein. The first sub-marginal cell a little longer than 

 the second posterior, the base of the former being a little nearer the base 

 of the wing. The posterior cross-vein about one and a half times its 

 length nearer the base of the wing than the mid cross-vein, and the 

 supernumerary about its length nearer the apex than the latter. 



Length. — 5 mm. (including proboscis). 



Habitat. — San Jose, Abra, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 



Time of Capture. — September (1. 01)." 



Note. — With the exception of the non-spotted legs, this insect 

 seems to me to resemble N. nivipes, Theobald, and I expect it 

 may prove to be a variety of that species. Giles refers to it as a 

 Pyretopltorus (J. T. Med. vii., p. 265). It is a distinct Nysso- 

 rhynchus as Miss Ludlow states.
