the fork-cell and a trace at the apex of each branch, a small 
pale spot at its base and two on its stems; the fifth is mostly 
pale scaled, the upper branch has three dark spots, the two basal 
ones close together, the lower branch one long apical one, base 
of the fork dark and also a black spot at the base of the vein ; 
the sixth mostly black scaled, with two basal pale patches ; 
fringe with pale spots where all the veins join ; first sub-marginal 
cell longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its stem 
more than half the length of the cell, its base nearer the base 
of the wing than that of the second posterior cell ; stem of the 
latter as long as the cell ; the mid cross-vein about its own length 
in front of the supernumerary, the posterior longer than the mid, 
about its own length nearer the base of the wing. 
Length.—3°5 to 4 mm. 
Habitat.—Salisbury, Mashonaland (G. A. K. Marshall). 
Time of capture.—April. 
Observations.—Described from a single @. it is quite 
different to all African species I have seen, the two broad white 
apical palpal bands at once separating it, as well as the wing 
ornamentation, the wing markings being very similar to costalis. 
It comes nearest P. costalis (Loew), but separated on account of 
the palpi.

(Mono. Culicid. I. 1901, p. 161.) 
(Plates I., VIII., and IX.) 
Additional localities—Cape Colony, at Mount Fletcher (Dr. 
Martin Ricono) ; Pretoria (Dr. Theiler). 
Time of appearance.—December to March in Pretoria; after 
the 22nd of March they became exceptional, says Dr. Theiler. 
Observations.—This seems to be a common South and Central 
African species. . It is one of the commonest species at Pretoria. 
The Cape specimens have the legs appar ua more faintly banded 
than those from Central Africa. 
The thoracic scales are not hair-like, as stated in Vol. I, 
p. 161, but are long narrow-curved scales. ‘To the description of 
the wing given on p. 163, Vol. I., add the following: two (not one) 
spots on the lower branch of the first fork-cell, and three (not 
two) on the upper branch of the fifth; the apex has the fringe 
usually completely yellow, the two small black spots mentioned 
are not always present. The basal joint of the antennae may 
be pale.
