tarsal joints have yellow apical bands, the last two are dark brown and 
unbanded; ungues equal, simple, small and nearly straight; in the hind 
legs the first tarsal has a broad white apical band and narrow median one, 
the second and third tarsal basal and apical white bands, the last tarsus pure 
white; the hind metatarsus longer than the tibiae.” 
“Wings with creamy-yellow scales and black spots; on the costa are 
four large and two small black spots the latter at the base of the wing; the 
two apical spots are continued evenly on to the first long vein; under the 
third and largest spot are three black spots on the first long vein and alsc 
another beneath the fourth spot; fork cells short, the first submarginal a little 
the longer, but no narrower than the second posterior cell, its base nearer the 
apex of the wing than that of the second posterior cell, its stem nearly as long 
as the cell ; stem of the second posterior a little longer than the cell; 
supernumerary cross-vein nearer the apex of the wing than the mid cross¬ 
vein and somewhat longer; posterior cross-vein more than three times its 
own length distant fiom the mid sloping towards the base of the wing; the 
patches of black scales are disposed as follows ; one spot near the tip of each 
vein, a long patch at the tip of the upper branch of the first sub-marginal, 
another near its base and two on its lower branch, three on its stem ; one at 1 
the apex and two at the base of the third long vein ; one large and one small 
on the upper branch of the fourth and two small ones on the lower branch, one 
long patch at its base and another nearer the base of the vein, two moderate¬ 
sized and some small patches on the upper branch of the fifth, an apical one on 
the lower branch and another near the base of the fifth vein, three on the 
sixth vein; fringe, brown, yellow where the veins join, border scales brown 
also yellow where the veins join ; halteres, with pale ochraceous stem anc 
fuscous knob.” 
“Male. —Head, with more white scales than in the female; palpi, brown 
scaled. Apical joint much dilated, rather acuminate, penultimate joint aboir 
the same length, but much narrower than the apical joint. A patch of white 
scales at its apex and another at the base of the apical joint which is white 
on one side; proboscis thinner than in the female; apex, testaceous 
antennae, brown, with deep flaxen-brown plumes, ungues small, unequa 
in the fore legs, the larger one twice toothed; in the mid and hind legs 
the ungues are small, simple and equal. Length 3.5 to 4 mm. ‘ Habitat.

Remarks —This description is taken from Theobald’s “Monograph,” as 1 
have no specimen of this mosquito. It occurs in the Malay Peninsula, as 
specimens have been sent from Taiping. Mr. Theobald states that it comes 
near Myzomyia Punctulata , but there should be no difficulty in distinguishing 
it from that mosquito as apart from the fact that the leg banding is very 
different the thoracic scaling is totally different, the mesonotum in M\ 
punctulata being clothed with hairs only, while in this mosquito there are 
definite scales on the mesonotum. 
Nyssorhyncus Willmori. — James. 
Thorax, dark slate-grey with brown shoulder patches, the whole clac: 
with white spindle-shaped scales. Palpi, with a narrow white band in the 
middle of the second joint and two equal white bands at the apex. Lege 
much spotted.
