102 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
femora, tibiae, and first and second tarsal segments are brilliantly marked 
‘with bands and patches of white scales, the apical banding of the first, 
second, and third tarsal segments extends over the joint to the base of 
the next segment. In the hind legs, the femora, tibiae, and first tarsal 
segment are thickly speckled with white patches; the tibiae and first 
tarsal segment have apical white bands, and the second, third, and 
fourth tarsal segments have white apical and basal bands; the last 
tarsal segment is wholly white. 
The Wing veins are clothed with black and white scales; the costa 
shows fuur large and three small black areas, the latter being near the 
base of the wing; the first longitudinal vein has four black spots corres- 
ponding to the large dark areas on the costa, the second longitudinal vein 
has three small dark spots on its main stem and two on each of its 
branches; the third longitudinal vein is white scaled except for a small 
dark spot at its commencement and another at its termination; the fourth 
longitudinal vein has three dark scaled areas on its main stem and two on 
each of its branches; the fifth longitudinal vein has a small spot at its 
commencement, two spots on its anterior branch and one on its posterior ; 
the sixth longitudinal vein has three small dark spots. 
The Wing fringe is interrupted by light scaled areas at the termina- 
tions of all the longitudinal veins. 
Habitat and Observations, collected by Lieut. Willmore, I.M.S., in 
Kashmir. Its larvae were found in a clear puddle formed by a spring at 
a height of 4800 feet. It differs from A. metaboles (Theobald) in its 
abdomen being more thickly scaled and having fewer hairs, as well as in 
the wing markings and in having the last segment of the hind tarsi pure 
white. From A. maculata it differs in having a thickly-scaled abdomen. 
Observations.—This species bears a very striking resemblance 
to N. maculatus (Theobald), but differs not only in regard to the 
densely-scaled abdomen, but also in the banding of the palpi, 
which have two broad and equal apical white bands and a small 
one towards the base, whilst in maculatus there are two unequal 
white apical bands, then a small white one, and another small 
white one towards the base. 
Dr. Christophers sent me this species from Lahore. 
NyssoRHYNCHUS Karwarl. n. sp. (James). 
The following is Captain James’s original description :— 
Palpi with four white bands. Thorax covered with snowy- 
white scales and some hairs. Abdomen thickly clothed with 
golden hairs and some scales on the last two segments. Legs not 
speckled ; the terminal tarsal segment of the hind legs pure 
white.
