the sides, brown in the centre; metanotum yellowish-brown in 
some lights, with purplish tinges in others. When viewed with 
a hand lens the thorax appears bright brown and grey, frosted 
with grey hairs, the median dark line showing plainly, and also 
the four lateral spots. 
The abdomen is absent, and the legs too damaged to make 
anything of, but the remaining wing is perfect, and presents the 
following peculiarities: the costa is dark, with a small pale 
patch about one-third of the length of the wing from the tip. 
The apex is fringed with yellow scales, broken by three small 
blackish patches, the upper part of the yellow fringe appearing 
as a yellow, apical, costal spot. The veins are sparsely bordered 
with pale spindle-shaped scales, and scattered over the veins, at 
Fig. 62 .

wide intervals, are large, deep black scales totally unlike those of 
any other Anopheles (PI. A). These scales are collected into a 
dense jet-black spot where the first long vein joins the auxiliary, 
the black spot of scales involving the second long vein as well. 
They are also collected rather thickly at the root of the fork-cells, 
especially of the first sub-marginal cell and elsewhere. The first 
sub-marginal cell is about the same length as its stem; its base 
nearer the base of the wing than that of the second posterior cell. 
The latter is very short and broad, only a little more than half 
the length of its stem. Posterior cross-vein about its own length 
distant from the mid cross-vein. The third long vein is carried 
only a minute distance past the posterior cross-vein.
