Genus Anopheles . 135 
the segments, and with the last few segments with long golden 
scales. 
Legs with femora dark scaled, with a few white spots; fore 
tibiae with numerous small white spots ; fore metatarsi apically 
white, and with a faint white band in the middle ; first and 
second tarsal joints apically banded ; third and fourth dark ; mid 
legs with the metatarsus and first and second tarsi apically 
banded ; hind legs with the femora and tibiae with an apical 
white spot and small pale patches on them ; last three tarsi pure 
white and also the apex of the first, ungues black. 
Wings with creamy veins, and with four large and two small 
very dark costal spots, and fifteen small spots on the wing field, 
the whole of the apical fringe yellowish ; anterior branch of fifth 
long vein much curved at the base. 
Length. —3 to 3 • 5 mm. 
Habitat. —Quilon, Travancore, S. India (James) (7. 3. 1900). 
Time of capture. —February. 
Observations. —A small Anopheles with similar hind tarsi to 
A. argyrotarsis, but glearly distinct on account of the leg banding 
and wing markings, as well as size. The banded mid-tarsi and 
the mid-banding of the fore metatarsus at once render it easy 
of identification, as well as the speckled tibiae and femora, 
otherwise very like Giles’s A. fuliginosus. 
6. Anopheles Bigotii. n. sp. 
A. punctipennis. Bigot (MS. name). 
Thorax dark brown, with four long lines of flat white scales. 
Abdomen black, with yellow scales above, white or creamy ones 
below. Legs brown, banded ; an apical band on the metatarsus 
and first two tarsi of fore legs, last joint white; a pale ring on 
the hind femora ; a broad apical one to the metatarsus, last 
three tarsi and apex of the first pure white. Wings with three 
white spots on the dark costa. 
9 . Head brown with white curved scales, flat ones at the 
sides ; antennae brown, the basal joint dark on one side, second 
joint rather long, about equal to two of the following, first seven 
joints with white scales ; palpi brown scaled, the apex white, 
and also the apices of the other joints, i.e. with four white bands, 
base densely scaled ; proboscis rather thin, brown. 
Thorax dark brown, with four longitudinal lines of rather 
flat white scales, the two median ones being rather close
