“ Thorax dark brown, covered with pale golden, curved, hair-like scales, 
j :utellum dark brown, with pale curved scales; metanotum dark brown; 
ieurae brown, with a patch of pale scales over the mid legs.” 
“ Abdomen covered with dusky purplish-brown scales, each segment 
ith a narrow basal band of dull white scales, and their posterior borders 
ith pallid hairs; venter with pale yellowish scales forming basal bands to 
le segments.” 
“ Fore legs with a pale knee spot and a yellow spot at the apex of the 
bia; mid legs with a pale band at the tibio-metatarsal joint, involving both 
des of the joint and traces of basal banding on the first two tarsal joints ; 
ind legs with a pale spot at the end of the femora and base of tibiae, a 
istinct band on the tibio-metatarsal joint, a small band at the base of the 
rst two tarsi, with a very faint trace on the third.” 
“Wings with the first sub-marginal cell a little longer and narrower than 
le second posterior cell, their bases about level; posterior cross-vein nearly 
iree times its length distant from the mid cross-vein.” 
“ Length.—4*5 mm.” 
“Habitat.—Perak (Wray); N. W. Provinces, India (Giles).” 
“ Observations.—Described from a single female sent by Mr. Wray. It 
i closely related to C. sitiens,but can at once be told by the bases of the two 
ork cells being nearly level, whereas in sitiens that the first sub-marginal is 
luch nearer the base than that of the second posterior. The head 
rnamentation also differs a little, and the strongly-marked tibio-metatarsal 
-and on the mid and hind legs seems very characteristic.” 
“ I feel sure this is the same as Walker’s Culex impellens, described 
'om Makessar in Celebes. All that remains of the type, however, are thorax 
nd wings, and they answer to these specimens. I have only seen a single 
nale.”
