Genus Anopheles. 
marginal if anything nearer the base of the wing. The stem of 
the second posterior cell about the same length or a little longer 
than the cell. The posterior cross-vein nearly twice its own 
length distant from the mid cross-vein. Scales on the veins 
creamy-yellow, with small black patches, as follows : at the tips 
of all the veins, one on each branch of the first fork-cell, one at

Anopheles Rossii, Giles. 
Wing of the 9 and cross-veins of the <3 
(right-hand wing of cf). (X. 11.) 
the base of the third long vein ; two on the upper and one on 
the lower branch, and two on the stem of the fourth vein ; three 
on the upper branch, one on the lower, and one near the base of 
the stem of the fifth vein ; two spots on the sixth long vein of 
small size. Fringe yellow at the apex and at the ends of the 
fourth and fifth veins ; remainder blackish. 
Length .— 4 to 6 mm. 
£ . Palpi swollen at the end, yellow, with a broad black 
band at the base, a broad black band in the middle, and a small 
broken one near the apex of the same joint, and a narrow ring 
of black at the base of the last two joints ; hair tufts short, 
pale ; the base of the palpi densely black-scaled ; proboscis dark 
brown, pale at the tip ; antennae with silky golden-brown plumes. 
Wings marked much as the 9 ? but in many ^’s, especially in 
those from South India, there is a small additional spot beneath 
the second costal spot, besides the one forming the T, and in a 
few 9 ’s I have noticed the same. First posterior cell a little 
longer and much narrower than the second posterior cell, its base 
if anything a little nearer the apex of the wing than that of the 
latter, its stem equal to the length of the cell, the same length 
as that of the second posterior cell ; supernumerary cross-vein 
nearly its own length in advance of the mid cross-vein ; posterior 
cross-vein at least twice its own length distant from the mid cross-
