Genus Anopheles. 
the Museum of the School of Medicine, Cairo, who has most 
kindly collected me fresh material of adult and larval stages. 
Another has also been received from Mashonaland. This 
African Anopheles answers very closely to the description of 
Arribalzaga’s A. annulipalpis, but the wings have not a 
uniformly black costa as in that species, and for other reasons 
I take this African species to be a distinct insect from the one 
described by Arribalzaga from the banks of the Parana in the 
Argentine., It is certainly the finest Anopheles we have, and 
is easily told by the densely-scaled abdomen and mottled and 
banded legs, and evidently comes close to the previous species. 
It probably has a wide range, a female having been sent also 
from Central Africa.
