still another spot just beneath the light incision between the second and 
third anterior marginal spot; beneath this there is again a spot on the 
third vein and on the fourth vein; the latter close in front of the fork. 
There are besides only a few dark scales on vein three in front of the 
central transverse vein. ‘The upper branch of the large fork carries two 
little spots on its basal half; the root-spot of the fifth vein is, compared 
with the first of the three spots on the sixth vein, somewhat compressed 
(? basal). The marginal spots present are small and punctiform, those on 
the lower branch of the lower fork disappearing, and the three mentioned 
in the diagnosis are absent. The wing fringe spotted, the entire tip of the 
wing to beneath vein three with light fringe, and only bisected by a 
narrow dark tuft beneath the superior branch of the superior fork. ‘The 
median transverse is at a distance double its length from the superior 
transverse vein, the inferior a little way back. The legs exhibit no 
peculiarities in the balsam preparation; the femora on the lateral aspect 
do not seem to be thickened at the base, but the tibia appear to be 
thickened above the tarsal jomt. ‘Thorax and abdomen, 4°1 mm.

This is, as Dénitz says, distinct from his M. punctulatus.

Palpi long in both sexes; in the ¢ the last two joints are 
swollen, in the 9 subulate. The head clothed with broad upright 
forked scales; thorax with very narrow-curved scales, almost 
hairs ; abdomen with hairs, very similar to those on the thorax. 
Wings with similar venation to Anopheles, but the scales are 
peculiarly modified ; in addition to lanceolate ones, there are 
numerous large inflated scales, with their free ends with 
circular outline, sometimes collected in patches, at others 
irregularly disposed. 
* Blanchard has altered the spelling of this to Cyclolepidopteron.
