Genus Culex. 335 
On. the other hand, Noe’s Culex Ficalbii I make quite a distinct 
species. 
A single 9 specimen of C. annulatus was sent to Major Giles 
by Captain Victor Lindesay, I.M.S. ; it was taken at Bakloh, 
Punjab, at 5000 feet above the sea. Major Giles noticed the 
resemblance between this specimen and the European C. annulatus . 
I have made a minute examination of it, and can see no difference 
from Schrank’s species. 
Major Giles also sends me another specimen taken at Bakloh, 
a £ , which answers also in all details, including the fore ungues— 
the mid have gone. It cannot easily be confused with any other 
species, except C. Ficalbii , Noe, and G. glaphyropterus, Schiner ; 
from the latter it can be told by its banded legs, which are uni¬ 
form in C. glaphyropterus. From C. Ficalbii it can be told by the 
position of the cross-veins, &c., referred to in dealing with that 
species. 
I have taken this insect at all seasons of the year, especi¬ 
ally during the autumn, and usually in privies and outhouses. 
It clearly hibernates both in the and 9 state during the 
winter. 
Stephens’s type of C. ajjinis is in the Hope Museum, at 
Oxford.

the second segment as in C. annulatus (Fig. 109, B). Legs

metatarsi with yellowish apical and basal scales, tarsi basally 
pale, some apically as well, banding most distinct on hind legs. 
Wing spots indistinct. Mid ungues of the £ both twice- 
toothed.
