Genus Anopheles . 
Habitat. —Mashonaland (Marshall) ; British Central Africa 
(Daniels) (82). 
Time of capture. —October (Marshall). 
Observations. A very pronounced scaly species, not like any 
other Anopheles I have seen. It can at once be told by the 
white thoracic scales and the three white lines on the pleurae, 
and also by the densely scaled abdomen and mottled femora and 
tibiae and the pale bands on the tarsi involving both sides of the 
joints. The description is drawn from two excellently preserved 
specimens from Dr. Daniels and Mr. Marshall. 
20. Anopheles Pharoensis. n. sp. 
(Fig. 8, Pl. II.) 
Thorax pale brownish, with a median dark line and a fawn- 
coloured line on each side, covered with yellowish-grey scales; 
abdomen brown, covered with dense yellowish scales and with 
lateral tufts of dark scales. Legs with the femora and tibiae 
banded and mottled, and the metatarsi and tarsi with broad 
apical white bands; last tarsal joint white. Costa with three 
large black spots and two smaller ones. 
9 . Head with asliy-grey scales, a darker median line, and a 
tuft of long white hairs in front, projecting forwards. Eyes 
black, with a very faint thin paler border above. Antennae 
brown, with whitish hairs and pubescence. Palpi not quite so 
long as the proboscis, densely clothed with deep brown scales 
and scattered white ones on the dorsal surface, apices of the four 
last joints with distinct bands of white scales. Proboscis 
entirely dark brown. 
Thorax covered with yellowish-grey scales, with a darker brown 
median line in front and a fawn-coloured bare line on each side, 
a distinct black spot laterally just before the middle, from each 
of which runs a bare fawn-coloured line backwards; scutellum 
with a few silvery scales ; metanotum brown with cinereous 
reflections ; thoracic bristles dark , pleurae and sternum dark. 
Abdomen clothed with dense yellowish-brown scales (very 
dark brown when denuded), segments expanded apically, and 
slightly darker beneath the overlapping apical scales ; two dense 
black tufts of scales at the end of the abdomen. The apical 
borders laterally have curious broad scales sticking outwards, 
giving the apical borders a still further expanded appearance.
