Genus ARMIGERES. Theobald. 
Colonel Giles, I believe, has two new Armigeres, but I have 
not been able to separate one from A. ventralis. His A. pana~ 
lectoros, described below, is, however, I feel sure, distinct. 
Armigeres panalectoros. n. sp. Giles MS. 
“ Wings unspotted ; tarsi nearly black, unbanded ; thorax 
dark mouse-colour, adorned with lighter, lyre-shaped marks, 
much as in Steg. fasciata, Fabr. Abdominal segments sooty, 
dorsally unadorned, but with silvery ventral apical bands, exactly 
as in C. ventralis , Walker. 
This is a much smaller gnat than A. ventralis, and differs 
also in having the thorax elaborately adorned, though the con¬ 
trast of colour in the markings is not strong, and they are 
naturally distinguishable only in fresh specimens. The head 
and its appendages are black in both sexes, the $ antennae 
being as long as the distinctly spat ul ate proboscis, and the rather 
smooth, subulate palpi, fully a third longer. The wings closely 
resemble those of A. ventralis in venation, but the unsealed, 
inward extension of the third longitudinal is by no means so 
well marked. The $ ungues are markedly unequal, and pro¬ 
vided with an accessory tooth on all the legs. The white ventral 
bands are broader externally, so that the black takes the form of 
semilunar spots. 
Habitat. —This species was sent me by Major Alcock, Super¬ 
intendent of the Indian Museum, during the rains, but 1 have 
not received it from any other part of India.” (Giles.) 
Genus CULEX. 
(Page 326, Yol. I.) 
Culex (?) Kochi. Donitz. 
(Insecten Borse 5, p. 38, 1901.) 
Head grey, with two dark patches ; thorax bright chestnut- 
brown, with two more or less defined circles of pale scales. 
Abdomen deep brown, with apical white lateral spots and 
ochraceous scales on the apical portions of the segments and in 
the middle. Proboscis short, pale band in the middle. Legs 
with many pale bands; wings marked like Anopheles. 
9 . Head mostly covered with flat scales, but with narrow 
curved ones in the middle and behind ; two dark brown patches
