A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Observations .—The above is the description of a 9 from 
Madras, and is seemingly related to Grassi’s A. superpictus, the 
win^s, &c., being almost identical. The chief difference I can 
detect is, that in the Indian specimen the legs have no traces 
of tarsal banding, and the fringe has three yellow patches, which 
are absent in the type of Grassi’s superpictus. The specimen was 
taken in a house near Madras, by Captain Cornwall. From 
A. funestus it differs in the position of the cross-veins.
