cross-vein longer than the mid, nearly twice its own length 
distant from it, sloping towards the base of the wing. 
Length.—3°5 to 4°5 mm. 
Habitat.—Lahore, India. 
Observations.—Described from five ?’s sent by Captain James 
and Drs. Christophers and Stephens. It comes near N. maculatus, 
Theobald (“ Mono. Culicidae,” Vol. I., p. 171), but can at once be 
told by the last hind tarsi not being white as in that speckled- 
legged SpeetS: from the speckled-legged N. Theobaldz, Giles (‘ Ento. 
Mo. Mag.,” p. 198, 1901), and N. Jamesi, Theobald (Mono. 
Gulnsine, » Vol. I., p. 134), also by the hind tarsi not being white. 
The third spot on the border of the wing is subject to some 
variation, as shown in fig. 54. One specimen has only two spots 
on the sixth long vein, not three. Just previous to my description 
the species also sent to Capt. Liston was described in the Indian 
Metical Gazette. 
The larva has short palmate hair-filaments like Theobaldi and 
maculatus (fig. 25, 6), and simple frontal hairs (fig. 17, e). 
The name metaboles occurs in all the Royal Society Reports, 
Liston’s description not being then known.
