of the first two tarsi. Base of the second posterior cell nearer the base of 
the wing than that of the first sub-marginal.” 
“ Head black, with narrow-curved pale scales and black upright forked I 
ones, flat grey ones at the sides of the head ; antennae brown, basal joint 
testaceous outside, dark on the inside, base of the second joint testaceous ; 
palpi scaled with black, a few white ones at the apex, clypeus deep brown ; 
proboscis black-scaied, with a median pale band.” 
“ Thorax dark brown, with dark brown, dull pale brown, and fawn- 
coloured narrow-curved scales, the latter forming an indistinct lateral 
curved patch about the middle of the mesonotum; scutellum deep brown, 
with narrow-curved pale scales ; metanotum deep brown ; pleurae brown, 
with three pale patches of scales.” 
“ Abdomen .—Black, covered with deep black scales, the second to sixth 
segments with basal white bands, the seventh with basal white lateral spots, 
the last with a median basal white spot, the basal segment black, with two! 
patches of black scales, with a few grey ones in the middle; venter black, 
with basal white bands, testaceous at the base.” 
“ Legs brown ; femora pale beneath ; the mid and hind legs show a 
narrow pale tibio-metatarsal band, not seen in the fore legs ; the first two 
tarsi, and, to some extent, the third, with minute basal pale rings, only 
noticeable in certain lights; ungues equal and simple.” 
“ Wings with typical brown Culex scales, the first sub-marginal cell 
about the same length, but narrower than the second posterior cell, its base 
nearer the apex of the wing than that of the second posterior cell, its stem 
equal to two-thirds the length of the cell ; stem of the second posterior cell 
also about two-thirds the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein twice its 
own length distant from the mid. Halteres ochraceous, with grey scales } 
on the knob.” 
“ Length.—5*5 mm.” 
“ Habitat.—Dindings, Straits Settlements.” 
“ Time of capture.—November.” 
“ Observations. —Described from a single female perfect save for the hind 
legs, which are partly destroyed. It is closely related to Culex Microannulatus, 
but can at once be told by the relative positions of the fork-cells and 
cross-veins, and by the abdominal banding and ornamentation. The 
specimen was taken at the Rest House at Bruas, Dindings.”
