490 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



brown, pubescence also dark, but appearing light in certain positions, 

 basal segment brown ; palpi dark brown and quite hairy ; proboscis dark 

 brown ; clypeus dark brown ; eyes brown and silver. 



Thorax : prothoracic lobes dark brown, with a few dark brown bristles, 

 no scales ; mesonotum dark brown, the median portion covered with dark 

 brown curved scales, bordered by a heavy band of brassy yellow curved 

 scales, extending cephalad from one wing joint (inverted u) across to the 

 other. The brown curved scales on the mesonotum near the scutellum 

 appear in some lights white, and this seems characteristic of the brown 

 scales all over the insect; pleura brown and clothed only with a few 

 brown hairs; scutellum dark brown, with brassy yellow curved scales 

 and a few light bristles ; yellow bristles at the wing joint and two sparsely 

 set rows on the mesonotum ; metanohmi dark brown. 



Abdomen dark brown, with broad basal bands of dirty white scales 

 hardly extending the full width of the terga ; first segment dark, and the 

 second has merely a median light spot, while on the ultimate segment the 

 band is quite narrow : venter dark. 



Legs brown throughout ; coxae and trochanters and ventral side of 

 femora somewhat lighter than the rest, a light spot near the apex of fore 

 femora on dorsal side — i.e. the ventral colour runs up, but all the scales 

 show much change of colour in different lights ; the tibiae and more 

 distal segments are darker, ranging from purplish to fawn colour, according 

 to the angle of the light, and under hand lens may seem even brassy. 

 All ungues equal and simple. 



Wings clear, clothed with brown and light typical Taeniorhynchus 

 scales. The costa dark throughout; sub-costa and first longitudinal 

 mostly light scaled from the base of the wing to about the junction of 

 the sub-costa, and the stem of the fifth long vein is also light, with some 

 light scales on the lower fork. 



The scales vary much in different lights, the colours ranging from a 

 grey to dirty white to brassy yellow, and the effect is of two light ui verg- 

 ing lines on the wing ; fringe dark, turning grey in some lights, first sub- 

 marginal is a fourth longer and a little narrower than the second posterior, 

 the supernumerary cross-vein about half as long as the mid, and distant 

 twice its own length ; hal teres have a light stem and dark knob.
