the third long vein being black, by having only two fringe spots 
and an additional white costal spot. | 
Variation in the cross-veins.—Captain James sends me 
preparations of four wings of this species in which we see four 
quite distinct positions in the cross-veins. 
The male ungues were wrongly described by Giles ; his male 
being a male Turkhudi, and not a male culicifacies at all. 
The genitalia is similar to that of others in this group—the 
claspers being short and thick and terminate in a blunt point. 
The larva of culicifacies has simple unbranched frontal hairs 
(Fig. 17, d), and can thus be readily separated from Grassi’s super- 
pictus (Fig. 4, ¢.).
