femoral spots and silvery-white scaled beneath ; hind legs with 

 femoral spots more pronounced ; tibiae with broad white median 

 and apical bands ; the tarsal segments with broad white apical 

 bands except the last two hind tarsals which are all white ; ungues 

 unequal, one on each fore and mid leg very broad and curved, 

 a thin web-like membrane between the curved outer portion; 

 posterior ones not examined. 



Wings ornamented with black and white scales much as in 

 the former species, but there are two dusky areas across the 

 surface. The stem of the second long vein close to the first, 

 almost fused with it ; stem of the first posterior cell nearly three

times as long as the cell ; stem of the second not quite twice as 

 long ; scales on the stem of the fourth rather long and broad 

 longer than in the former species, posterior cross- vein longer than 

 the mid, about one and a half times its own length distant from 

 it. Black scales on the stem of the first fork-cell, on the basal 

 half of the third, some on the base of the stem of the second 

 fork-cell, on the greater part of the upper branch of the fifth, 

 a few at the apex of the lower branch, and a batch near the 

 base, also some near the base of the fourth. 



Halteres with testaceous stem and fuscous knob. 



Length. — 2*5 mm. 



Habitat. — India (Capt. James, I. M.S.). 



Observations. Described from a single specimen. The species 

 is a very beautiful and marked one, and cannot be confused with 

 any other mosquito. 



The structure of the ungues is very peculiar. The fore leg 

 was removed from the type to show by microscopic examination 

 the ungues, which seem to be exactly the same as those of the 

 mid leg.
