Mosquitoes; Malaria. 104 Legs: The coxa? yellowish, femora yellowish, the upward turning surface brown, the apex white, the white band not involving the tibia. Tibia brown with scattered black and dull yellow scales; metatarsi and tarsi yellowish, banded in the following manner: fore metatarsi and first two tarsi with traces of basal bands.

. Contributions to the biology of the Danish Culicidae. Mosquitoes; Malaria. 104 Legs: The coxa? yellowish, femora yellowish, the upward turning surface brown, the apex white, the white band not involving the tibia. Tibia brown with scattered black and dull yellow scales; metatarsi and tarsi yellowish, banded in the following manner: fore metatarsi and first two tarsi with traces of basal bands. On the midlegs the bands are more distinct; the bands on the hindlegs are broader and still more distinct, but there is no broad, pale median metatar- sal band, such as Theobald states with regard to T. Richardi; ungues equal, simple. Claw for- mula —— Length: Body about 5 mm. Male: 1 have hitherto only found females and with regard to the description of the male refer the reader to Theobald (1901 p. 194). Larva: Head subquadrate, wider than long (5 : 3) antennae long and slender; a large hair- tuft nearer the base than the apex, arising from a notch, ter- minal portion slender, flagellum like, very flexible and much drawn out, one of the terminal hairs situated not far beyond the tuft; dorsal hairs all in mul- tiple groups; the anteantennal tuft large, multiple; lower frontal tuft absent; upper frontal tuft com- monly with five hairs, between them four very small hair-tufts. Thorax transverse, angled at hair-tufts. Hair formula for the frontal border of the thorax 531105501135, between 5 and 0 a small hair-tuft; lateral hairs long, a few of them single, most of them in multiple tufts; a few small tufts scattered over the dorsal side. Abdominal segments rather broad, when the larva is fastened to the roots, almost inflated; the long lateral hairs double; dorsally and ventrally every segment provided with two series of hair-tufts, every segment carrying four tufts eighth.
