Getms A i lopheles . 137 
nearer the apex of the wing than the base of the first sub¬ 
marginal cell ; posterior cross-vein about its own length distant 
from the mid cross-vein. 
Length .— 6 mm. 
Habitat .—Chili (Bigot). 
Observations .—Described from a single 9 in Bigot’s collection, 
and now in Mr. Verrall’s possession. The specimen bears the 
following in Bigot’s writing, “Anopheles punctipennis. n. sp. 
1874. Chili.” 
The MS. name Bigot gave it cannot stand, as Say has 
described an Anopheles under this name. 
It is a very marked and beautiful species, with rather flat 
thoracic scales and many flat scales on the abdomen; the 
thoracic markings will readily separate it from any other white¬ 
legged species; the hind legs in the specimen are imperfect. It 
bears a superficial resemblance to my A. paludis, but the flat 
thoracic scales at once separate it.
