A Monograph of Culicidae. 
scutellum bright chestnut-brown, with narrow pale curved scales 
and golden-brown border-bristles; metanotum bright chestnut- 
brown ; pleurae chestnut-brown. 
Abdomen covered with dusky-brown scales, which are paler 
along the apical borders of the segments, forming almost apical 
pale bands; there is also a broad ochraceous line down the middle 
of the abdomen, basally there is a lateral patch of ochraceous 
scales on each side of the segments, the first segment is mostly 
creamy-white scaled, and the second has two large basal creamy- 
white lateral patches; venter clothed with pale ochraceous scales ; 
laterally and on the posterior borders of the segments are pale 
golden-brown hairs. 
Legs with the femora pale at the base, especially in the hind 
pair, where the femora are also pale yellowish-brown ventrally 
nearly to the apex, remainder of the legs brown, darkening to 
the extremities, which are almost black, but the whole legs show 
dull ochraceous reflections in certain lights; the femora of the 
fore and mid legs are rather thick; ungues of the fore and mid 
legs thick, deep brown, equal and uniserrated, of the hind legs 
simple and more straight than those of the fore and mid legs. 
Wings with the veins clothed with brown scales, the lateral 
ones of typical Gulex form; fork-cells short, the first sub¬ 
marginal longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, 
its stem as long as the cell; stem of the second posterior a 
little longer than the cell; the base of the first sub-marginal 
cell is nearer the apex of the wing than the junction of the 
sub-costal and costal veins; posterior cross-vein longer than 
the mid, about its own length distant from it ; fringe dark 
brown. 
Halteres ochraceous. 
Length. —4*5 mm. 
Habitat. —Thayetmyo, Upper Burma (Watson) (94. 4). 
Time of capture. —August. 
Observations .—Described from a single $ in the British 
Museum collection. It is a very distinct form, with character¬ 
istic abdominal ornamentation. The colours vary considerably 
in different lights, the legs often appearing dull ochraceous, and 
again almost bronzy. I do not feel quite sure about the mid 
ungues, the legs being much entangled beneath the card mount, 
the fore thick and uniserrated, and the hind equal and simple, 
and I fancy the mid are like those of the fore legs.
