Numerous specimens of this species, in all stages of 

 growth from the egg to the imago, are in Mr. Saunders's 

 collection, received from M. Goudot himself. The alary 

 tubercles appear as minute oval lobes immediately beneath 

 each of the posterior lateral angles of the mesonotum and 

 of the anterior half of the metanotum ; they are equally de- 

 veloped in both sexes, and appear when the insect is not 

 above one-fourth of its full size. When the insect is full- 

 grown, they are pale straw-coloured, depressed, and with 

 the surface marked with a number of small impressions. 

 The fourth segment of the abdomen of the male is armed 

 beneath with two deflexed obtuse spines. The legs are 

 clothed with short hairs.

Closely allied and very similar in general characters to 

 An. Bogotensis, but at once distinguished by the striking 

 contrast of the colour of its thighs to the rest of the body, 

 and by the want of the alary tubercles. 



The male is slender, subcylindrical ; the female broader, 

 especially across the middle of the body ; black, glossy, 

 destitute of spines or tubercles. The antennae are about 

 two-thirds of the length of the body in the male, and about 

 half its length in the female. The mesothorax is but little 

 longer than the prothorax. The male has the three ter- 

 minal ventral segments very much swollen, but not extend- 

 ing beyond the eighth dorsal segment ; the anal styles are 

 larger and incurved. The operculum of the female is thin, 

 acute, and bent upwards at the tip. The legs are mode- 

 rately long, simple, entirely black, except the femora, which 

 are fulvous red, with the tips black.
