386 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
corresponds with all the recorded characteristics of Wiedemann’s 
species. 
The insect is a Culex of almost uniform fuscous colouration. 
The wing is hyaline, with a very scanty armature of linear 
scales. Tarsi fuscous, unhanded. Abdominal segments very dark, 
with narrow grey apical bands, which almost expand into spots 
laterally. Thorax brown grounded, with four darker lines clothed 
with pale yellow curved scales in front, and golden ones especially 
dense about the roots of the wing behind. 
Head with creamy narrow-curved and erect forked scales 
and lateral flat-scaled patches of the same tint. The proboscis is 
peculiar, disproportionately stout throughout, and quite spatulate 
at the end. The palpi but slightly exceed the proboscis in length, 
and are clothed with smooth brown scales, with a few pale ones 
near the base. Pleurae clothed with golden scales. The legs are 
yellowish-fuscous, with a minute paler spot on the knee and apex 
of the tibia. 
A small species. 
Habitat. —Sidon, Asia Minor. Wiedemann records it from 
the ‘ East Indies,’ and Wallace from Singapore, Sarawak, etc. ; 
but nothing corresponding sufficiently well to be identified with 
Wiedemann’s description has, so far as I know, been received at 
the British Museum.” 
Also recorded Bengal and Malacca.
