Basal joint of antenna pale brown clad on the inner face with spatulate 
scales those above being pale olive-brown in colour, in some lights darker 
brown, those below creamy with a yellowish tinge, second joint with the 
basal half pale brown clad with creamy-yellow scales apical half dark 
purple-brown, remaining joints purple-brown with a pale ring at the 
insertion of the verticils; verticillate hairs dark brown. Clypeus dark 
purple-brown clad towards the apex with bluish-white narrow-curved scales. 
Palpi about half as long as the proboscis clad with purple-brown scales. 
Proboscis of moderate length clad as the palpi. 
Thorax .—Prothoracic lobes more prominent than in other members of 
this genus covered for the most part with flat creamy scales in front, on the 
upper part behind the scales are dark brown. There is a tuft of large dark 
brown bristles on the upper angle in front. Mesonotum brown clad dorsally 
with a dense feltwork of long narrow-curved scales which are rich bronze 
under a hand lens but under a 1/2 are seen to be of mixture of dark 
brown and golden scales; round the margin of the anterior half is a well- 
marked band of pale golden scales which in front over the neck are narrow- 
curved but near the wings spatulate scales. Scutellum yellowish-brown 
clad with large spatulate scales dark purple on the lateral lobes, fawn-brown 
on the central lobe; bristles dark brown; number on central lobe variable, 
usually four. Pleurae brown with patches of creamy flat scales. Wings 
brown with dark brown scales purple when massed as on the costa ; median 
scales rather long varying in shape on the different veins those on the 
anterior veins being about twice as long as broad while on the posterior 
veins they are broader in proportion to their length, some of them having 
oblique ends; lateral scales long and narrow; first fork cell longer and 
narrower than second, scarcely twice the length of its stem, its base about 
on a level with the base of the second though this is not so in every specimen ; 
median and posterior cross veins of about equal length separated by more 
than twice their own length. Coxae muddy-yellow, fore and mid with both 
dark brown and creamy-white scales and pale brown bristles, hind with 
creamy-white scales and pale bristles; femora dark purple-brown silver} 
beneath and on the hind femora at the sides; tibiae dark purple-brown with! 
a narrow yellow apical ring; tarsi dark purple-brown; fore and mid ungues 
equal and uni-serrate, hind equal and simple. 
Abdomen .—Dorsally clad with dark purple-brown scales and narrow 
creamy apical bands. Venter creamy. Lateral spots triangular with 
concave upper edge. 
Occurrence .—Described from three females two of which were taken ir 
the jungle at “The Gap” and one was bred from a larva in a bamboo in 
jungle on the Pahang Road five miles from Kuala Lumpur. The date ot 
capture of first two was April that of the second June. 
Remarks .—Like L. Annulitarsis this mosquito has its clypeus scaled 
but the scales are curved and narrow while on the clypeus of annulitarsis 
they are flat and elliptical. The two species cannot be confused as 
annulitarsis has the legs banded and not the abdomen while cingulata has 
unbanded legs and banded abdomen. I have a male and female in al 
respects resembling cingulata but without the scaling on the clypeus and I 
hesitate to make a separate species of this with so little material merely or
