Observations. —Described by Colonel Giles, who has presented 
the types to the Museum. It is a very distinct species, in which 
the male genitalia is very peculiar. This Anopheles has also 
abnormal habits, for when resting it assumes exactly the position 
of Culex. Colonel Giles says of this species, “ When at rest this 
mosquito presents a close resemblance to C. fatigans , Wiedemann, 
as, apart from the conspicuous abdominal banding, the female 
habitually sits humped up like a Culex , while even the males 
keep the body no more than parallel to the surface they rest on.” 
Evidently when fresh the abdominal banding is more distinct,
