A Monograph of Culicidae. 
First segment very short, and has a large compound bristle on 
either side of the median line. Second and third segments have 
similar bristles, but much smaller, besides small simple ones. At 
the posterior lateral margin of each segment from the third back 
there is a stout spine, increasing in length backwards. On the 
posterior dorsal margin of each segment, from the fourth to 
eighth, there are three long single bristles on each side of 
the median line.” Colonel Giles has taken this sub-species 
in India.
