A Monograph of Culicidae. 
var. circumluteola. Theobald (1908). 
The Entomol. XLI., 107, May 1908. Theobald. 
Head like the type, also proboscis and antennae ; palpi of 
female all black. Thorax with creamy lateral areas, which unite 
in front, forming a continuous mass behind the head, the dark 
median area having only bronzy-brown scales and being narrowed 
in front. 
The wings have more brown-scaled areas than the type, the 
only creamy-scaled veins being the basal half of the first long 
vein and the fifth, except its upper branch ; there are also pale 
lateral scales on the apical half of the sub-costal and a few 
indistinct ones on the basal part of the second and fourth veins. 
The stem of the first fork-cell is half the length of the cell and 
that of the second about two-thirds the length of the cell. 
Abdomen and legs as in type. 
Length .—5 mm. 
Habitat .—Transvaal (Simpson). 
Observations .—Type variety in the British Museum. This 
differs from the type and other varieties in the pale lateral 
thoracic area extending around the front of the thorax, and by 
the less pale scaled areas of the wings.
