Genas Anopheles. 209 
apex, fringed with long black hairs, metanotum brown, halteres black, 
or very deep brown, the stem ochre-yellow. Abdomen about twice 
length of thorax, black, levigate, sparsely clothed with golden-yellow 
hairs (terminal joint more densely) ; lamellae of ovipositor black, fringed 
with short golden-yellow hairs. Coxae ochreous. Legs clothed with 
violet-black scales, femora and tibiae bright ochreous beneath and very 
slightly at the tips. Coxae pale ochreous without scales, slightly hairy. 
Wings length of the entire body, bright ochre-yellow at base, hyaline, 
veins very densely covered with scales, those on the costa, auxiliary, and 
first longitudinal veins black, the remaining veins with black and yellow 
scales arranged in alternate series, almost entirely black on the sixth long, 
vein. Six patches of black scales are prominent, situated at the following 
points: on the fifth long, vein mid-way between its origin and the base 
of its fork, at the base of the fork, at the bases of the second and third long, 
veins, the cilia on the costa between a point immediately above the tip of 
the first long, vein and immediately below the tip of the third long, vein 
pale yellowish or whitish, the remaining cilia violet-black with a light 
sericeous reflection. Auxiliary vein reaching the costa opposite the 
middle cross-vein, second long, vein beginning some distance before the 
marginal cross-vein; supernumerary and middle cross-vein opposite one 
another, situated beyond the posterior cross-vein a distance not equal to 
the length of the latter; post, cross-vein situated opposite the beginning 
of the third long, vein and considerably beyond the tip of the sixth long, 
vein; first sub-marginal cell longer but not narrower than the second 
posterior cell, its base situated a little before that of the latter; base of 
the anal cell lying a little before origin of second long. vein. 
Length antennae . . 1 * 77 mm. 
Wing expanse . . . 4*18 x O’84 mm. 
Body ..... 4’18 x 0'76mm. 
Habitat .—Berqwra (N.S.W.) January; Queensland, October 
(Bancroft, 106). 
Note.— Another distinct Australian species with unbanded 
tarsi, but closely related to the former. 
Whilst in the press specimens of this very distinct AnojpheJes 
have been received from Dr. Bancroft. I may add some details 
to Skuse’s excellent description, namely, that the clypeus is 
trilobed, a very marked and peculiar character. The densely 
scaled palpi are scarcely white at the apex, and the scutellum 
has rather long pale scales on the posterior border and fifteen 
border-bristles rather far apart. It can easily be told from the 
former by the black and yellow wing scales and the prominent 
spots of black scales.
