Genus Anopheles. 
143 
pleurae dark brown with some grey markings; metanotum 
deep-brown; scutellum pale ochraceous grey, dark brown in the 
middle. 
Abdomen shiny black with a dull violet tinge in some lights, 
with long golden-brown hairs. Legs dark yellowish-brown with 
dark brown scales, with a dull bronzy yellow reflection in certain 
lights ; apices of the hind metatarsi and first three tarsal joints 
narrowly banded yellow, last joint dark brown; in the fore and 
mid legs the first two tarsi only are banded ; hind metatarsi 
longer than the hind tibiae, first tarsal joint not one-half the 
length of the metatarsus ; ungues equal and simple. 
Wings with the costa covered with black scales, broken by 
two small yellow spots, the apical one distinct and extending 
on to the first long vein and the upper half of the fork of the 
second long vein; the second spot where the sub-costal joins the 
costa very indistinct, more or less extending on to the second 
longitudinal, rest of the wing-markings as in A. Sinensis, except 
that there is no pale patch on the fringe where the lower branch 
of the fifth vein joins the border; apical fringe yellow, but the 
black spot between it and the apical costal spot larger; cross¬ 
veins separate, the posterior longer than the mid, distant from 
it more than its own length, and the supernumerary distant from 
the mid about two-thirds of its own length; base of the first sub¬ 
marginal cell a little nearer the base of the wing than the base 
of the second posterior cell. 
Halteres pale yellowish-brown with a fuscous knob. 
Length. —4 to 5 mm. 
_ X 
£. Palpi densely covered with black and grey scales at the 
base, less so on the remainder, apex with black and grey scales, 
truncated, antepenultimate joint deep black with a narrow border 
of white scales ; penultimate joint with thin white border ; hair- 
tufts brown ; antennae banded with brown verticils. Ungues of 
the fore legs unequal, the larger one with two large teeth, 
and a trace of a third at the base; mid and hind equal and 
simple, the hind smaller than the mid and nearly straight. 
Length. —3*8 to 4'5 mm. 
Habitat.— Straits Settlements (Taipang, Perak), (L. Wray) 
(21. 11. and 22. 12. 1899) ; Madras (Captain Cornwall) ; Sambal- 
pur, Central Provinces (D. O’C. Murphy) (99). 
Observations. —This species differs very slightly from A. 
Sinensis, but it can be separated by the character of the cross¬ 
veins, which are all widely separate from one another, and there
