A Monograph of Culicidae. 
a few black bristles; antennae brown, broadly banded with grey, 
verticillate hairs arising from the middle of the joints, that part 
of the joints above the hairs brown, that part below grey. 
Thorax much as in the $ . Abdomen thin, deep brown to the 
naked eye ; deep ochraceous with deep dull violet scales under 
the microscope ; genitalia testaceous. Fore ungues unequal, the 
larger uniserrated, curved, the smaller simple; in the mid legs 
the larger uniserrated one is nearly straight ; hind ungues small, 
equal, simple. 
Length. —3*5 mm. 
Habitat .—Lagos (Dr. Strachan) (91). 
Observations .—Very like G. cinereus, mihi, but the posterior 
cross-vein is much nearer the mid cross-vein than in that species ; 
the abdominal scales are more of a grey and green hue under the 
microscope, the femora are not white beneath and the mid 
scutellar bristles are only six in number, not eight as in cinereus , 
and it is also much smaller in size.
