258 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Q. Legs with apical dark bands to the joints, not basal, 
as described in Vol. II., p. 208; the legs are dark in some 
specimens when denuded; the fore and mid 
ungues are not simple, but uniserrated and 
of moderate size. 
The wing when flattened out is as follows: 
Costal and first long vein yellow-scaled, except 
at the apex; sub-costal yellow, and also part 
of the third and fourth veins; apices of the 
costal and first long vein, the branches of the 
fork-cells, most of the third, dark-scaled ; re- 
mainder of the veins with scanty brown 
scales ; bases of the fork-cells nearly level ; the 
supernumerary and mid cross-veins join, but 
at an open angle, not in a straight line. The 
palpi (Fig. 135) are four-jointed, the penulti- 
mate joint being very long, the apical one 
minute.

(Mono. Culicid. II., p. 198, 1901.) 
Additional localities—Sierra Leone, Free Town (E. E. 
Austen), two 9’s bred from a roadside puddle in September ; 
Durban Bay Hotel, near the shore (Dr. 8. R. Christophers), 
two 9’s taken in January; Shaohyling, China (Cornford) ; 
Perak (Dr. Wright). 
Notes.—The two Durban specimens I referred to in Vol. IL., 
p. 199, as not being Taeniorhynchi, by more careful examination 
have been shown to belong to this species. 
The abdomen is subject to much variation; in some there 
are traces of basal median pale spots, others show no such traces, 
but have pale scales dotted all over the abdomen. The ungues 
of the ? are all equal and simple, and the mid scutellar lobe in 
the four species recently examined had ten bristles. Culex 
annulioris, Theobald (Vol. I., p. 371), is very similar at first 
sight, and the description applies very closely to this species, but 
the fore ungues of the ¢ are uniserrated, and the mid scutellar 
lobe has only eight border-bristles.
