Genus Neocellia. 115 



apex of the lower branch, and a few lower down ; the stem has 

 three patches of dark scales, one on each side of the cross- vein, 

 and the third near its base ; the third has a small dark spot near 

 the apex and another near the base ; the fourth has traces of 

 two on each branch, and a long dark area on each side of the 

 cross- veins ; the fifth has two small spots on the upper branch, 

 one at the apex of the lower and one near the base ; the sixth 

 has three black spots ; fringe pale at the junction of each vein 

 with the wing border ; fork-cells rather short, the first sub- 

 marginal longer and narrower than the second posterior, its base 

 nearly level with that of the latter, and its stem nearly as long 

 as the cell; stem of the second posterior cell longer than the 

 cell ; supernumerary cross vein about its own length in front of 

 the mid, the mid nearly twice its own length in front of the 

 posterior ; apex of wing with the fringe from the third to first 

 long veins yellow. Halteres with pale stem and fuscous knob. 



Length 4*8 to 6 mm. 



$ . Head, thorax and abdomen similar to the 9 > antennae 

 with flaxen plume-hairs; palpi with the two apical segments 

 swollen, white above, brown below, a narrow brown band near 

 the apex. Fore ungues very unequal, both simple ; mid and 

 hind equal and simple, the former larger than the latter. Wings 

 very similar to the J . 



Length, — 5 to 5 • 5 mm. 



Habitat — Kangra Valley, 4,500 feet (A. G. Dudgeon). 



Time of capture. — June and July. 



Observations. — Described from several females and males. It 

 is a very marked species, easily told from other Neocellia by the 

 much speckled legs, but comes very near James' Anopheles willmori 

 in general appearance. It differs from willmori in not having 

 apical and basal banding to the tarsi of the fore and mid legs, 

 in the non-spotted nature, and there are no patches of white on 

 the first tarsals, nor is the thorax dark brown, and the head 

 scales are black and white, not all white. 



There are no lateral abdominal scale tufts, so it is placed 

 in this genus, as it agrees in all other respects.
