A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Wings with the black costa with three distinct nearly equal 
yellowish spots ; apex yellow, forming a small apical spot ; 
fringe brown with a yellow spot at the end of each vein, except 
at the end of the sixth ; the middle of the three yellow costal 
spots is slightly the largest; all three spots are carried on to the 
first long vein; the apical spot also just touches the tip of the 
first long vein and the tip of the upper branch of the first fork¬ 
cell ; second long vein and the fork entirely dark scaled ; the 
third yellow in the middle, dark at the base and apex; the 
fourth mostly dark scaled; the fifth and sixth mostly dark 
scaled, a trace of yellow on the upper branch of the fifth ; first 
sub-marginal cell considerably longer and slightly narrower than 
the second posterior cell, its base much nearer the base of the 
wing than that of the latter, its stem less than half the length 
of the cell ; stem of the second posterior cell considerably longer 
than the cell and than the stem of the sub-marginal cell ; the 
sub-costal joins the costal in the median yellow costal spot, some 
way from the base of the sub-marginal cell ; supernumerary 
cross-vein nearly its own length in front of the mid cross-vein, 
which is longer than the supernumerary ; posterior cross-vein 
a little longer than the mid, more than its own length distant 
from it ; third long vein carried very prominently into the 
basal cell. 
Halteres with grey stem and large cup-shaped black knob. 
Length .—3 mm. 
Habitat. —Pokfulam, Hong Kong (Rees). 
Time of capture. —October. 
Observations .—Described from a single 9 i 11 Dr. Rees' 
collection. Very like A. funestus, Lliodesiensis and iiiperpictus , 
but from funestus it can be at once told by the disposition of the 
cross-veins and the darker scaled wings, from Lliodesiensis by the 
ornamented wing fringe and cross-veins, from superpictus by its 
darker hue and ornamented fringe. 
The fork-cells also differ from all three, the stalk of the 
second posterior cell being relatively much longer. The meso- 
thorax has also numerous spots of a dusky hue. The straightness 
of the mid ungues is very marked and strongly contrasted with 
the curved fore ungues. It most nearly approaches A. funestus 
from Africa, but is a distinct species.
