A Monograph of Culicidae. 
vein deep violet, remainder pale brown; scales large and scanty; 
first fork-cell a little shorter and narrower than the second 
fork-cell, its base a little nearer the apex of the wing, its stem 
about twice the length of the cell, stem of the second posterior 
one and a half times the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein 
nearly twice its own length distant from the mid. Hal teres 
ochreous with fuscous knob. 
Length .—2 to 2 • 5 mm. 
Time of capture. —3. xi. 07. (October and November). 
Habitat. — Obuasi, caught in bush 5 p.m. (Dr. Graham). 
Observations .—Described from four $ ; s ; the abdominal 
banding is more distinct in two than the other two. The 
markedly-adorned thorax at once separates the species. Dr. 
Graham describes the anterior half of the thorax as pale orange, 
so that probably the colours have faded in death. 
Type in the British Museum.
