numerary and mid-cross veins apparently in one line, the posterior 
cross-vein about three times its own length behind the mid cross- 
vein; halteres ochraceous. 
Length.—4 mm. 
Habitat.—India. (Evidently from Goa.) 
Observations.—Described from a single perfect 9. It is 
clearly told from all known Anopheles by the unspotted yellowish 
wings. The palpi and proboscis are shorter than in most 
Anopheles. In some lights it has a distinct general ochraceous 
tinge. The specimen was given me by Capt. Liston. It will 
probably have to be removed from this genus.

Jour. Trop. Med. V., p. 181, 1902, Theobald.) 
(Plates VI. and VIII.) 
Thorax and abdomen with hair-like curved scales ; there may 
be a few narrow-curved ones on the front of the mesothorax, 
forming a tuft, projecting over the head (Fig. 1, 2); wings with 
mostly long thin or narrow lanceolate lateral vein-scales ; the 
wings are spotted, and they are usually small or moderate 
sized species. . 
The larvae mostly live in flowing water, very rarely in ponds 
or stagnant water, except Hossvi and superpictus, which may 
breed even in pots and puddles. The palmate hairs are well 
developed except in Rossii. The species that inhabit flowing 
water have the eggs with large floats. This genus is the one 
most intimately connected with malaria, in India and Africa. 
The name Grassia proposed by me for this genus has been 
previously used by Fisch (1885). Professor Blanchard re-named 
the genus Myzomyia. |
