i f this are four dark brown spots separated by areas clad with yellow scales, 
nd on the apical side of this large spot is first a long yellow spot, then a 
rown spot, then another yellow spot, followed by a brown spot, succeeded 
y a yellow spot which extends to the point of junction of upper branch of 
: re first fork cell with the margin. Beginning at the apex the first long 
ein has brown scales beneath the first dark costal spot and under the next 
re two small brown spots separated by yellow, and beneath the large central 
S ark costal spot, the first vein shews dark spots separated by yellow, and on 
le basal side of this there are two small black spots the rest of the vein 
eing yellow scaled. All the rest of the veins are clad with yellow scales 
i /ith black spots as follows, two on the stem of second vein and two on its 
Dwer branch, one at the base and one near the apex on the third vein, two on 
he stem of the fourth and two on each of its branches, one at the base of the 
ifth, three on its upper branch and one on the apex of the lower branch, and 
hree on the sixth ; fringe yellow opposite junction of each vein with the 
I largin ; first fork cell a little longer than the second, its base nearer the apex 
f the wing, its stem about as long as the cell; posterior cross vein a little 
lore than its own length distant from the median. Coxae, ochraceous with 
ale scales and bristles. Femora and tibiae, clad with dark brown scales 
. 7 # 
i /ith numerous yellow spots ; metatarsus of fore leg with yellow spots and 
road creamy apical band. First two tarsal joints with creamy bands at 
pex and base and an additional median band on the first; third tarsal joint 
nth a creamy basal band ; fourth tipped with yellow. Metatarsus of mid leg 
/ith yellow spots and first two tarsal joints with narrow apical bands. In 
he hind leg the metatarsus has numerous yellow spots and a narrow 
| reamy-yellow apical band. The first tarsal joint has a broad creamy apical 
>and and the third and fourth are clad with creamy scales at base and apex, 
1 nd dark brown scales in the middle; last joint, dark brown at the base, 
reamy-yellow at the apex. Ungues, equal and simple. 
Abdomen .—Dark brown, clad above with golden-yellow scales and hairs 
j /hich become very dense on the apical segments, completely clothing them. 
; Ieneath,on either side of each sternite from the second to the seventh inclusive 
I here is a * * tuft of dark brown erect clavate scales which stand out like 
mall rosettes, the venter of the eighth segment is clad with golden scales. 
Male. —Head as in the female. Proboscis entirely clad with golden- 
ellow scales except for three narrow rings of dark brown scales on the basal 
alf. The last joint of the palpi is clad with yellow scales, the penultimate 
i Dint is yellow with a narrow dark ring at the apex, the antepenultimate joint 
j as a band of dark scales at its base and a narrow band about its centre and 
; nother at its apex, the portions between, being clad with golden-yellow 
: Dales. The antennae are golden-brown with golden-brown plumes. The 
j Dre ungues are unequal, the larger having one tooth or possibly two. 
lid and hind ungues equal and simple. 
Occurrence. —In roadside puddles or any large collection of water in the 
i pen the larvae of this mosquito may be found. It is more abundant in the 
: icinity of houses. 
Remarks. —A very beautiful anopheline and apparently widely distri- 
uted in Malaya. The colour of the scaling differs considerably in the 
pecimens from different localities. 
* Note. —These tufts of scales really are attached to the venter on each side of 
1 te midsternal line. They diverge and, in the dried specimens, this divergence is so great 
s to give the appearance of lateral tufts.
