492 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



in the middle of the tibiae, consisting both of scales and bristles ; 

 apical half of the first tarsal black ; nearly two-thirds of the 

 apical half of the second tarsal and the third tarsal black, last 

 tarsal black with yellow basal band at the joint ; ungues of fore 

 and mid legs long, equal and simple, of the hind small, equal, and 

 simple. 



Wings with yellow costa and veins, and yellow and dark- 

 scales, the yellow scales more rounded at the apex than the dark 

 ones, some slightly expanded ; most of the dusky scales are 

 acutely truncated. First sub-marginal cell very long, longer 

 than the second posterior cell ; fringe dark. Hal teres pale 

 yellow, with pale knobs. 



Length. — 6 mm. 



Habitat. — Pibor. 



Observations. — A single specimen only taken. The description 

 is mainly that sent me by Dr. Balfour ; the type was much 

 damaged in transit, but I have added a few notes to those he has 

 sent me. It is certainly a new species, easily identified by the 

 tuft of purple black scales and bristles on the hind legs.

Additional locality. — Bukedi country, beyond Lake Rioga. 

 It is one of the most abundant Central African species. 



Notes. — The habits according to Dr. Christy are peculiar in 

 many ways. In swampy regions it bites at any time of the day, 

 more particularly in dull and wet weather. It is the only 

 mosquito Dr. Christy has found in Africa that can be said to 

 fly to a light. Clouds of them may be seen in the daytime, and 

 quite a halo of them will surround any lamp placed in the open 

 at night. The bite is not painful, and produces no subsequent 

 irritation.
