Genus Anopheles. 
second, brownish yellow, together forming a flattened ellipse, sparsely 
beset with long hairs. Thorax; scutellum dark brown behind, with fine 
yellow hairs on the shoulders, near the root of the wings a small light 
grey border, which is somewhat bent outwards in the middle on either 
side ; pleurae mostly clothed with light grey tomentum, abdomen pro¬ 
portionate^ short, grey-brown, hinder border of the segments dark brown, 
which is more obvious on the venter, where the ground colour is paler; 
claspers shorter than the last abdominal segment, with long curved points, 
abdominal tomentum moderately dense, blonde coloured. Legs dark 
brown, coxae and base of femora brownish yellow, apex of latter rather 
dark, so that the pale knee spot shows up more distinctly. Close to the 
base of the mid femora is a whitish ring, bounded on both sides by a 
deeper brown band; fore tibiae, except the basal third, whitish, with 
three darker brown rings, the last just before the tip, which is pale ; the 
other tibiae are also white at the tips; hind legs long arid slender, especially 
the tarsi, the first joint of which is a fourth longer than the tibia ; halteres 
dark brown, stem and base paler than the knob. Wings longer than 
abdomen, with a slightly greyish tint; veins and scales brown; in the 
middle of the fore part of the wing, on the second long, vein, is a spot, and 
another a little further out above the small transverse vein; a second 
spot, both formed by accumulations of scales ; upper basal cell longer 
than the lower.”—North America. 
Note. —Coquillett thinks this species does not belong to the 
genus Anopheles at all. The description, he seems to think, 
applies to a male Culex consobrinus, Desvoidy ; but in this I can 
scarcely agree, and do not think such an authority as Van der 
Wulp would commit such an error. (F. V. T.)

“Ferruginous, abdomen fuscous, wings spotless. * 
“ Antennae and palpi brown, the latter more dusky with a little white 
at the joints; thorax reddish-brown, but only in certain lights; if seen 
from behind whitish, and it then exhibits linear stripes, but looking back¬ 
wards without stripes ; abdomen dusky brown with yellowish hairs; veins 
of the wings with brown scales ; halteres intense white with brown knobs ; 
legs shorter than in A. crucians , brownisli-black with yellowish femora.”

Note. —Coquillett strongly suspects that this is a rubbed 
specimen of A. crucians , but as Wiedemann points out the 
difference from that species, I cannot see that he is justified in
