A Monograph of Culicidae . 
Small Dapple-Wing, and is said to be rare in Calcutta, but 
evidently common in Madras. 
Experiments with human malaria (Crescent and Tertian 
cases) failed. 
The actual specimens of the Small Dapple-Wing sent by 
Dr. Daniels were lost in transit. The type specimens in the 
British Museum were brought home by Ross and deposited by 
him, and are said to belong to the same species. 
The specimen from which this description is taken belongs 
to Captain Cornwall, and was obtained in Madras. Captain 
James, I.M.S., writes regarding the larvae of this species that 
they are quite black, with a bright white spot in the centre of 
the back ; whereas the common Anopheles larvae (4. Hossii) are 
light fawn or light brown. In lying flat at the surface of the 
water and in their movements they resemble those of the common 
species. 
One specimen sent me by Captain Cornwall and others from 
Behar differ slightly in regard to the wing ornamentation, but 
I feel sure are only pale varieties of this dark species. The 
“ border scales ” in this variety, pallida , are yellow (B, b), instead 
of black (A, a).
