great weight, also do not coincide if they are not drawn quite incorrectly 
in Theobald’s figure. In an Anopheles the inferior transverse vein never 
ceases (?) immediately after the origin of the upper branch of the fifth 
longitudinal vein. At the same time I must call attention to the fact 
that the second vein never, as in Theobald’s fig. 49a, springs from the 
root in an Anopheles, any more so than the third longitudinal vein as 
shown in fig. 148, which is coloured. I do not know if in these gross 
errors in the illustrations I may venture to lay weight on the drawings of 
the wings, but I will at least mention that in both figures of Theobald’s 
‘there are missing the dark spot behind the superior transverse vein on 
the second longitudinal vein, and the spot in front of the inferior trans- 
verse vein on the longitudinal vein, both of which are present in 
An. deceptor. | 
The only other species with which it might be confused 
owing to the banded proboscis is my M. albirostris (p. 24), but 
the wings are totally distinct. 
Genus 9. CELLIA. nov. gen. 
(Plate VIII.) 
Thorax with flat spindle-shaped scales; abdomen more or 
less covered with long narrow-curved or spindle-shaped scales 
irregularly disposed and with dense lateral tufts; palpi of @ 
densely scaly ; wing scales large, bluntly lanceolate, wings densely 
scaled. Easily told by their dense coating of irregular scales, 
totally unlike a typical Anopheles. 
CELLIA PULCHERRIMA. ‘Theobald. 
Anopheles pulcherrimus. Theobald. 
(Proc. Roy. Soc., p. 369, vol. Ixix., 1902.) 
(Plate VIII.) 
Thorax ashy-brown, with frosty grey and very pale ochraceous 
scales, unadorned, except for two narrow dark lines on the 
posterior half. Abdomen densely covered with frosty and pale 
ochraceous scales, darker basal bands and distinct lateral apical 
tufts of black scales; venter and sides mostly white scaled. 
Wings with the fringe mostly pale, with seven more or less 
distinct dark patches ; costal border with four large black spots, 
and a few small ones on the yellow-scaled veins. Legs ashy-grey, 
the fore and mid tarsi and tibiae with apical white bands; in. 
the hind legs, all the tarsi white, except the base of the first,
