hen green scaled. The markings of both proboscis and palpi \ ary. In 
ne specimen I have the first joint of palpus is entirely gold-scaled save for 
ring of purple scales on the middle and apex. The thorax is similar to 
he female. Coxae and undersides of femora are golden scaled, the upper 
urfaces of the femora and the rest of all the legs are clad with purple scales. 
V few pale scales are inserted at the apices of the femora. Fore and mid 
mgues unequal larger tooth uniserrate. 
Abdomen. —Scaled as in the female. No caudal tuft. A few rather long 
golden hairs inserted on the two last segments. 
Occurrence. —Bred from larvae found in water collected in bamboos. 
Remarks .—Like T. Leicesteri this mosquito suffers great loss of brilliancy 
md change of colour when dry and old. It is quite distinct from it as the 
ibdominal banding is rich yellow not blue, and the patches of scales behind 
the prothoracic lobes are quite different in the two species. I have ne\ er 
:aken the adult of this mosquito. It is entirely sylvan and fairly widely 
distributed in the Peninsula.
