A Monograph of Culicidae. 
side of the bases of the femora ; the posterior femora have a 
broad clear white band in the middle of the joint; hind legs 
very long, the hind metatarsi longer than the tibiae; the hind 
femora at each end are quite black, showing up the median pale 
band very distinctly ; in some lights the tibiae and tarsi have 
an ochraceous reflection. Ungues equal and simple. 
Length. —4*5 mm.; of hind legs 10’5 to 11 mm.; of proboscis 
3 mm. 
Habitat. —Bakloh, Punjab (Captain Lindesay); Naini Tal 
(Colonel Giles). 
Time of capture. —July. 
Observations. —This marked species was described by Colonel 
Giles from a specimen sent him by Captain Victor Lindesay. 
The type in the British Museum is in a very imperfect state, 
the present description being taken from a perfect specimen sent 
me by Colonel Giles from Naini Tal at the height of 7000 feet. 
It can at once be told from all known Anopheles by the hind 
femora having a broad median white band. 
Colonel Giles suggests that it is possibly the darker species 
which Major Ross originally found to convey human malaria, 
but of' which he was unable to obtain a further supply of 
specimens. It is by far the most beautiful Anopheles I have 
yet seen. No male has been taken at present. Colonel Giles 
adds in some notes sent to me that he took the J i n his room, 
and that it seemed inclined to bite. 
35. Anopheles crucians. Wiedemann. 
A. ferrugincsus. Wiedemann (?). 
(Aussereurop. Zweifliig. Ins. p. 12 (1828), Wiedemann ; Circ. 40, 2nd se. U.S.A. 
Dept. Agri. p. 4 (1899), Coquillett.) 
(Fig, 23, PI. VI.) 
Wiedemann’s description of this species is as follows:— 
“ Tawny, the thorax with three deeper tinted lines ; the abdomen 
covered with grey hams; the wings with dusky spots and costa. 
Length, 2-| lines.” 
Coquillett, in his recent synoptic table of North American 
Culicidae, states that “ the scales of the last vein are white, 
marked with three black spots; palpi marked with white at the 
bases of the last four joints,” and without any spot on the costa, 
as seen in A. punctipennis.
