Genus Culex. 391 



with the banding less distinct and on the hind legs more so ; 

 ungues all equal and simple. 



Wings with typical Culex-sc&les, the fork-cells long ; the first 

 sub-marginal cell considerably longer and narrower than the second 

 posterior, its base nearer the base of the wing, its stem about 

 one-fourth the length of the cell, stem of the second posterior 

 less than half the length of the cell \ posterior cross- vein about 

 twice its own length distant from the mid. Halteres dusky. 



Length. — 3 mm. 



<£ . Palpi deep brown, with narrow yellow basal bands on

 Wing of Culex biroi. cf - Theobald. 



dark brown ; the dark apical segment acuminate ; antennae brown 

 with broad grey bands between the verticels. 



Thorax and abdomen as in the 9 • 



Fore and mid ungues unequal, uniserrated, hind equal and 

 simple. 



Length. — 3 ' 3 mm. 



Habitat,— Bombay (Biro, 1902). 



Observations. — Described from three 9 ?s anc ^ three $ 's. They 

 are closely allied to Culex vishnni, Theob., but can at once 

 be told from it and others of the allied species by the much 

 greater length of the first sub-marginal cell and by the head 

 adornment which resembles that of Culex microannulatus, Theob. 

 There is, however, a general different appearance, and their 

 small size also separates them from the latter. In C. vishnui 

 the first sub-marginal cell is nearer the apex of the wing than 

 that of the second posterior and not nearly as long as in Biro's 

 specimens from Bombay.
