silvery-white as in the type. Some specimens I bred from larvse take 
in the water collected in a fallen leaf of the Nebong palm in the jun°' 
at Jugra also shew variation from the type. The band on the hind le 
is much more marked and passes completely round the joint. Th 
mesonotal scales are of a brighter metallic green, the spot on th 
upper surface of the proboscis is a long patch of golden-green scale 
instead of a small patch. It is an exceedingly handsome mosquito and o 
the whole the largest of the Malayan species. As the position of croe 
veins of the wing in this genus appear to be remarkably constant, it woul 
be possible to diagnose this mosquito from the wing above as the seve 
Malayan species I have differ from each other in this respect.
