Genus Anopheles. 
black spots on the first long vein and also another beneath the 
fourth spot; fork-cells short, the first sub-marginal a little the 
longer but no narrower than the second posterior cell, its base 
nearer the apex of the wing than that of the second posterior 
cell, its stem nearly as long as the cell; stem of the second 
posterior a little longer than the cell; supernumerary cross-vein 
nearer the apex of the wing than the mid cross-vein and some¬ 
what longer; posterior cross-vein more than three times its own 
length distant from the mid cross-vein, sloping towards the base 
of the wing; the patches of black scales are disposed as follows : 
one spot near the tip of each vein, a long patch at the tip of the 
upper branch of the first sub-marginal, another near its base and 
two on the lower branch, three on its stem ; one at the apex and 
two at the base of the third long vein ; one large and one small 
on the upper branch of the fourth and two small ones on the 
lower branch, one long patch at its base and another nearer the 
base of the vein; two moderate sized and one small patches on 
the upper branch of the fifth, an apical one on the lower branch 
and another near the. base of the fifth vein ; three on the sixth 
vein ; fringe brown, yellow where the veins join, border-scales 
brown, also yellow where the veins join; halteres with pale 
ochraceous stem and fuscous knob. 
Length .—3 * 5 to 4 mm. 
£ . Head with more white scales than in the 9 j palpi brown 
scaled, apical joint much dilated, rather acuminate, penultimate 
joint about the same length but much narrower than the apical 
joint, a patch of white scales at its apex and another at the base 
of the apical joint, which is white on one side ; proboscis thinner 
than in the 9 ? apex testaceous ; antennae brown, with deep 
flaxen-brown plumes ; ungues small, unequal in the fore legs, the 
larger one twice toothed ; in the mid and hind legs the ungues 
are small, simple and equal. 
Length. —3-5 to 4 mm. 
Habitat .—Hong Kong (Rees and James). 
Time of capture .—October (Rees) ; common in September 
(James). 
Observations .—Described from several 9 s anc ^ two 6 s i n 
Dr. Rees’ collection, recently made in China. It is a small species, 
coming near A. punctulatus, Donitz, but easily separated by its 
pure white last hind tarsal joint. 
Captain James, I.M.S., while serving in the Chinese Expedi¬ 
tionary Force, has found this small Anopheles also, and sends me
