A Monograph of Culicidae. 
white locales projecting forward between the eyes, dark bristles 
near the eyes ; antennae very dark, verticels and pubescence 
white, basal joint brown, with white upright flat scales, first 
and second joints with white scales, those on the second joint 
longer, more curved, largely fusiform and outstanding, those on 
the first joint narrow, flat and more closely appressed ; palpi 
heavily covered with dark brown scales, rather erect near the 
base, the apex white, and two narrow white bands dividing the 
remainder into three nearly equal parts; proboscis heavily 
covered with dark brown scales, tip light; eyes dark, clypeus 
dark. 
Thorax : prothoracic lobes with broad fusiform white scales and 
dark bristles ; mesonotum covered sparsely with broad fusiform 
white scales arranged in lines, near the nape a few slender curved 
white scales, most of which project forward, a distinct line of the 
broad fusiform scales cephalad of and over the wing joint, not 
especially outstanding, but the scales broader than most of those 
on the mesonotum, a few scales near the middle of the mesonotum 
are either discoloured slightly or normally yellowish, two long 
oblong, bare, black lateral spaces about one-third the length of 
the mesonotum extend cephalad from near the scutellum; 
scutellum black, partly denuded, but with a heavy bunch of flat, 
rather fusiform, white scales on the lateral lobes, bristles black ; 
pleura black, with grey lines ; metanotum very dark. 
Abdomen black, densely covered with brown hairs, and the 
eighth segment and genitalia rather closely covered with long 
flat more or less spatulate brown scales. 
Legs : coxae and trochanters testaceous with dark hairs and 
white scales; all the femora covered with dark brown scales, 
the hind and mid legs with a white subapical spot on the cephalic 
aspect, and all of them with apex very narrowly white-banded; 
tibiae all brown, with small apical spot or band; first tarsal joints 
all brown, in the hind leg with small apical white spot extending 
slightly on the second joint, in the fore and mid with narrow 
apical white bands; second tarsal brown, with broad white 
apical bands, broadened on the hind leg, in which all the remain¬ 
ing joints are pure white, and in the other legs the third and 
fourth are apically white-banded, the fore leg the more distinctly, 
the fifth brown ; ungues large, simple and equal. 
Wing clear, covered heavily with dark brown scales resembling 
those found in Myzorhynchus ; costa with four small white spots,' 
all apparently confined to the costa, and one at the apex; a
