We have received no specimens of Anopheles bellator since the original types. It is probably more widely spread, but, as it is not taken unless bred and occurs in such unusual situations, it is seldom collected. It represents in northern South America the widely distributed Anopheles boliviensis Theobald.

Thorax brown, with pale scales; palpi densely black scaled, with three narrow white bands and a minute white apex. Abdomen dark brown, the segments with lateral tufts of black scales. Legs dark brown, spotted with white, the hind tarsi with apical and basal white banding as well. Wings mostly dark scaled, with a few small yellow patches, costal border dark, with several small pale spots; three more or less pronounced dark patches on the costal border.

9. Head dark brown, with deep brown and grey upright forked scales, the dark ones grey at the tips, a faint pale border round the eyes and a tuft of hair-like pale scales in front; antennae deep brown, basal joint black, with narrow curved white scales; clypeus brown, of peculiar form; palpi densely scaled with black scales, with three narrow white scaled bands, a white apex and a few scattered white scales; proboscis deep brown.

Thorax brown, with a slaty-grey sheen showing brown longitudinal lines and with small brown specks and narrow hair-like golden curved scales; there is a dark patch joining the scutellum which is carried on to its mid lobe, the rest of the scutellum being slaty-grey, with a few narrow hair-like golden scales; metanotum deep brown, with a median dark line; pleurae brown, with a grey sheen in places.

Abdomen black, with deep brown and golden-brown hairs, the dorsum nude, but each segment with an apical lateral tuft of black scales and a few white ones on the last few tufts; venter with many white and black flat scales, and also to some extent the apical segment. Legs deep brown, banded and spotted with white; fore legs missing; mid legs with the femora, tibiae, metatarsi and first tarsal with white spots, the second tarsal with a small median white spot, the apical tarsal faintly pale; hind legs with the femora, tibiae, and metatarsi banded and speckled with white and the tarsi with prominent white apical and basal bands.

Wings with thick lanceolate and clavate scales, mostly black, yellow patches as follows: ten small ones on the costa, the two apical ones only spreading as two small spots on to the first long vein; traces of one on the upper and two on the lower branches of the first fork-cell, one at the apex of the third and two on each branch of the second fork-cell; fringe brown, a pale spot where the lower branch of the fifth vein joins the border of the wing, another between the upper branch of


Page 7

just before middle involving base of second vein, toward apex a still larger spot involving first vein and both branches of second, separated from a small subapical and larger apical spot by streaks of white scales; outside of these spots the veins are irregularly mottled with white, the white in small spots distributed as follows: three on stem of second vein, the third one at base of fork, each branch with a spot toward apex; third vein with a spot near base and another toward apex; fourth vein with several spots on the stem and two on each fork; upper fork of fifth vein with three spots; sixth vein with five spots; the outermost spots on veins 2, 3 and 4 form the outer limit of the largest black scale-patch. Halteres pale, covered with small white scales, the disk of knob black and bare.

Legs long and slender, black, marked with yellowish white; femora, tibiæ and first joint of tarsi with a series of small yellowish white rings and spots, the femora pale beneath to near apices; knees and tips of tibiæ yellowish white; front tarsi with basal and apical rings on the four proximal joints, the fifth wholly black-scaled; mid tarsi similarly ornamented, the rings much narrower; hind tarsi with narrow apical rings on the four proximal joints, the last joint wholly black. Claw formula, 0.0-0.0-0.0.

Length: Body about 4.5 mm.; wing 4 mm.

The larva is unknown to us. We quote the following description from Doctor Peryassú's work (Os Culic. do Brazil, 332, 1908):

“ The larva is dark-colored with the third and eighth abdominal segments yellowish white.

“Head rounded. Antennae long, conical, with two very long terminal spines, with slender point; on the internal part are two spines and a tuft formed of hairs and at the extremity a long hair. Labial plate triangular. Mouth brushes dense and formed of hairs of ordinary length. Neck with a black rim at the posterior opening. Thorax yellowish white in front, with long branched setæ.

“ Abdomen with the segments large and detached, dark brownish in color; except the third and eighth which are yellowish white. The setæ of the three first segments are long and branched (like a palm-leaf), those of the other segments are short but also branched. Anal siphon with a large tuft composed of long hairs, similar to what is observed in Chagasia fajardoi. Anal leaflets short and with the apices rounded."

The hair-tuft in C. fijardoi arises from the median anterior margin of the air-tube, almost between the pair of spiracles.

Peryassú dissected 153 mature eggs from a female; he gives the following descriptive notes on the eggs (I. c. 331-332):

“The eggs are deposited singly in small numbers and do not form characteristic groups. Eggs were mailed from Xerém to Manguinhos, May 20 '07, placed in water May 22 07 and hatched three days later. The eggs are very resistant to desiccation.

“ The eggs are of elongate ellipsoidal form with the two poles greatly rounded. “ Length .48 mm.; diameter .17 mm.

“When laid they are pearl-white, later grey and dark grey. They are completely covered with white air-tubes arranged perpendicularly to the body of the egg, forming salient margins broader in the median part. At each of the poles there is a small crown composed of tubes like the others but smaller.

“When hatching they split open longitudinally." Forested regions of South America and island of Trinidad.

Chaquanas, Trinidad, March, 1914 (I. F. Lasalle) ; Itaguahy, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Inst. Oswaldo Cruz). Reported also from São Paulo, Brazil (Theobald), States of Minas Geraes and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Peryassú); Jamaica (Theobald).

We have a single specimen of Anopheles maculipes from Trinidad, where it is evidently rare, and another from Brazil

, this latter through the kindness of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. From these specimens it appears that the species is easily distinguishable from the similarly ornamented species occurring within


Page 8

Anopheles apicimacula is one of a group of closely similar species, which agree in the wing-pattern, the presence of abdominal lateral scale-tufts, and in having mottled legs. It is distinguishable from mediopunctatus and malefactor by the more narrowly ovate wing-scales, agreeing in this respect with strigimacula and maculipes. The last named differs by having the rings on the hind tarsi at the apices of the joints, while the others have them at both ends of the joints. The most obvious difference between apicimacula and strigimacula is that in the former the rings of the hind tarsi are white and rather scattered, while in the latter they are yellow and very numerous. There is considerable variation in the extent of the light scaling, both on the wings and tarsi. The third vein usually bears only two black spots, one near base, the other near apex; but some of our specimens show additional spots. The spots on the sixth vein are very variable in number and extent. The last hind tarsal may be either wholly white, or with a black ring.

We have sunk Anopheles punctimacula as a synonym of apicimacula, further study having convinced us that the differences on which the species was based, the less concrete black apical wing-spot and the wholly white last joint of the hind tarsi, are not specific.

of long branched tufts; anal gills moderate, about as long as the segment, bluntly pointed.

Theobald quotes Dr. Grabham as saying that the larvæ will live in any stagnant water, and will flourish in an infusion of decaying animal matter. The adult is found most abundantly in March, April, and May, and is an ardent bloodsucker. The egg is described as follows: “Upper surface broad. Fringe is well developed at each end, represented by a beaded line at the attachment of the floats. Lower surface with roughly hexagonal depressions. Floats occupy middle half of ovum, and are widely separated below. The egg is rather longer and narrower than that of Cellia albipes. A captive female will readily lay eggs, depositing about fifty at a time. These are arranged side by side or in radiating groups of three or more together at the edge of the water. This stage lasts forty-eight hours.” Mr. Busck found the larvæ in pools in a dried stream-bed, in large holes in coral rock and in a slowly running spring frequented by swine.

Observations. Very like A. punctipennis, Say, but can at once be told by the wing fringe being spotted at the apex of each nerve, and by the marking of the sixth long vein. The description is drawn up from two specimens in balsam, so that the scale structure is not evident. It is so very distinct, however, that it can easily be identified by the characters given above. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION OF ANOPHELES FRANCISCANUS:


Page 12

Torax.-Segmento medio de color blanco, ligeramente amarillento, con tres líneas de ornamentación características (v. figura), poco marcadas en la hembra.

Flancos de color claro, vellosos. Abdomen.-Pardo muy oscuro, casi negro, ligeramente más claro hacia la extremidad apical de los segmentos.

Miembros.- Patas negras, fémur ligeramente manchado con zonas vagas blancas, más perceptibles en las patas medias; pequeñas zonas claras al nivel de las articulaciones, á expensas de la base de los segmentos del tarso, que en su totalidad está cubierto de escamas muy oscuras.

Fórmula ungueal = 00.00.00.-Grifos muy oscuros de igual longitud.

Alas.- Las nervaduras cubiertas de escamas que, por su acumulación, determinan manchas así dispuestas. la costal se muestra de color negro en los dos tercios internos de su longitud, a partir de la inserción alar, interrumpiéndose la coloración negra al nivel de la unión de los dos tercios internos con el tercio externo, precisamente en el punto donde la sub-costal se une a la costal. Allí las escamas, cambiando de color y haciéndose blanco-amarillentas, de negras que eran, forman una mancha clara de 0 mm. 5, después de la cual continúa la coloración negra hasta la extremidad del ala. La coloración negra intensa de la nervadura costal, sumada á las manchas que presentan las nervaduras sub-costal y mediastina, dan lugar á tres manchas marginales, la primera de las cuales, de menor tamaño y de forma linear, se inicia á 1 mm. 5 á partir del punto de inserción alar, y no comprende en realidad, sino las nervaduras sub-costal y mediastina, mientras que está perceptiblemente separada de la nervadura costal por un espacio linear claro. La segunda mancha, mediana, es, por su longitud, intermedia entre las otras dos, pero es más ancha que todas ellas, llegando, en esta, como en la última, el acúmulo de escamas negras hasta el nivel de la costal, no estando así interrumpida la mancha por el espacio lineal que hemos citado en el anterior. La extremidad externa de esta mancha está, en el macho cortada en bisel agudo hacia abajo y adentro, mientras que en la hembra el bisel es apenas pronunciado.

La tercera mancha, distal ó última, de mayor longitud que las otras, ocupa la extremidad del ala y comprende la última orció de la costal y de la primera longitudinal, que, convergiendo sobre la anterior, se une en ella en ángulo muy agudo, poco antes de cuyo vértice termina la mancha. Esta comienza bruscamente hacia adentro por el cambio súbito de color de las escamas, que cubren abundantemente las dos nervaduras antes anotadas y terminan del mismo modo; en efecto, el vértice de convergencia de las dos nervaduras está cubierto de escamas de color blanco-amarillento, constituyendo una pequeña mancha clara apical.

Otras dos manchas de menor entidad ocupan, una, la tercera nervadura, inmediatamente por debajo de la primera mancha clara marginal, y la otra, muy pequeña y no constante, en la quinta longitudinal, en el punto donde la transversa media se une á ella; á este nivel la mancha está interrumpida por un menor acúmulo de escamas, que corresponde exactamente al pié de la nervadura transversa ó mediana, que divide así la manchita que señalamos, en dos porciones diferentes.

El ala, en general, tiene un color blanco amarrillo con irisación.
Macho En general es ligeramente más claro que la hembra.

Cabeza.-Las regiones post é interocular cubiertas de pelo de color blanco argentino.

Antenas.-Plumosas, con pelos de color amarillo parduzco. Los dos últimos artículos, son adornados de pelos cortos y cortas escamas oscuras, son muy largos especialmente el primero, cuya extremidad distal, adelgazada tiene una coloración blanquizca, que continúa en una pequeña extensión de la extremidad proximal del artículo siguiente.

Los otros artículos presentan, además de los verticilos de largos pelos implantados al nivel de las articulaciones, pelos pubescentes que adornan casi la totalidad del artículo, a excepción de una pequeña zona transversal de color claro, situada inmediatamente por encima del verticilo y de la zona muy oscura y muy rica en pelos pubescentes negros, que marca el sitio de este verticilo.

Palpas maxilares.-Son en longitud, sensiblemente iguales à la trompa y en algunos ejemplares la desbordan ligeramente. Los dos últimos artículos son claviformes, de color amarillento, más oscuro que en la hembra; estando marcada la articulación que los separa por un semianillo de color negro que abraza, transversalmente los 3/4 de la extremidad distal del penúltimo artículo, quedando solo libre el 1/4 dorsal.

Al nivel de la unión de este artículo con el primero hay un haz de pelos muy largos distribuidos en la mitad ventral de la articulación y sobre el primer artículo.

La base de las palpas está cubierta de escamas alargadas muy oscuras, que le dan una coloración más marcada que los artículos terminales.

Trompa.-Muy oscura cubierta en la base de escamas alargadas muy negras. Torac.-Más blanco que en la hembra y con la ornamentación linear más marcada.

Balancines En ambos sexos de color pardo oscuro, adornados de algunas escamas oscuras en la extremidad ensanchada.

angle rounded, with a small tuft of hair; a row of long basal hairs. Maxilla rounded rectangular, with slightly concave center, margin and center fringed with coarse hairs; palpus large, slightly serrate without, with a large dendritic tuft, a terminal group of digits and leaf-like appendages. Thorax rounded quadrate, about as wide as long; hairs short, consisting of branched hairs, single hairs and tufts, mesothorax sparsely haired. Abdomen stout, anterior segments shorter; long, feathered lateral hairs on first three segments, double on first and second, single on third; posterior hairs small, smooth; a dorsal series of five pairs of fan-shaped tufts on third to seventh segments (plate 130, fig. 454). Air-tube sessile, subquadrate, roundedly angled posteriorly. Lateral plates of eighth segment posteriorly with a series of spines, long and short ones irregularly disposed, the short ones from one-third to nearly half as long as the long ones. Anal segment about as long as wide, with a small dorsal plate; dorsal brush a long hair and a short tuft on each side; a single long lateral hair below the plate; ventral brush well developed, of long branched tufts. Anal gills moderate, about as long as the segment, blunt pointed.

Miss McCracken found the larvæ in an irrigating ditch and in a pool formed by the overflow of a watering trough, both being clear quiet pools. Dr. Dyar found them in ground-pools. Mr. Jennings found them in ditches, pools and puddles and in pools near streams and in the edges of streams; also in a tank. Mr. Knab got them in pools along a stream, in well-holes on a bare hill-top and in a spring-hole full of alge. Mr. Jennings gives the following notes on his observations in the Panama region:

"It occurs abundantly from ocean to ocean but is somewhat more discriminating than the latter [Anopheles albimanus] in choice of breeding place. It prefers as a rule water of greater purity and rapidity of current. The larval food, like that of albimanus, is by preference the soft green algæ, though it does not scorn, lacking better, many places departing quite widely from the chosen type. At times the abundance is enormous, though usually far fewer of this species will find their way into buildings than is the case with albimanus, and its flight is less vigorous."

Pale brownish; wings with four fuscous spots. Inhabits North-west Territory.

Thorar dull cinereous; two oblique, brown lines confluent behind and reaching the posterior edge; a broad, lateral, brown line also extending the whole length of the thorax; wings hyaline, the nervures hairy, forming two blackish spots near the middle, placed longitudinally; and two others nearer the tip on the bifurcations of the nervures, placed transversely; scutel dull ochreous, dusky in the middle; feet black-brown, incisures at tip of the thighs and of the tibiae, yellowish; tergum whitish, a little varied with dusky.

Length 9 to the tip of the wings more than three-tenths of an inch.

Closely allied to the maculipennis Hgg. I have not seen the male. Wiedemann informs me that my СULEX punctipennis is a true ANOPHELES, an observation which I have found to be correct. I described that insect in the year 1819, before any account of that new genus had reached this country, otherwise I certainly should have adopted it. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION OF ANOPHELES ANNULIMANUS:

Fuscus; tibiis anticis albis fusco-annulatis; metatarso postico tibia longiori. o long. 2 lin.

Thorax, schildje en achterrug donkerbruin, met fijne gele beharing; van de schouders naar den vleugelwortel een smalle lichtgrijze zoom, die in 't midden eenigzins hoekig naar onderen is uitgebogen; de borstzijden grootendeels lichtgrijs bestoven. Achterlijf naar evenredigheid kort, graauwbruin; de achterzoom der ringen zwartbruin, hetgeen op den buik, waar de grondkleur lichter is, meer in het oog valt; de tang korter dan de laatste lijfsring, met lange omgebogen spitsen; beharing des achterlijfs matig digt, fijn, van blonde kleur. Pooten donkerbruin; de heupen en de wortel der dijen bruingeel; het uiteinde der dijen bijna zwart, waartegen de bleekgele of witachtige kniespitsen duidelijk uitkomen; digt bij den wortel der middendijen is een witachtige ring, aan beide zijden begrensd door eene bruine keur, donkerder dan de grondkleur; de voorscheenen, met uitzondering van het wortel-derdedeel, witachtig, met drie donkerbruine ringen, waarvan de laatste zeer kort voor de spits, die weder wit of geelachtig is: die lichte kleur bevindt zich ook aan de spits der overige scheenen; de achterpooten zijn lang en dun, vooral de tarsen, waarvan het eerste lid een vierde langer is dan de scheenen. Kolfjes zwartbruin, de steel en de wortel van den knop lichter. Vleugels langer dan het achterlijf, met flaauwe graauwachtige tint; aderen en schubben bruin; in 't midden onder den voorrand, op de tweede langsader, bevindt zich een vlekje en een weinig verder, over de kleine dwarsader, een tweede, beiden door ophooping van schubbetjes gevormd; de bovenste basaal-cel is iets langer dan de onderste.


Page 15

thorax, indistinct in others and in good specimens; the pale lines run as follows: two parallel ones in the middle running along about halt the length of the mesonotum, the other two slightly curved, not far distant from the central ones and longer; the whole mesonotum covered with long, scattered, golden, curved, hair-like scales; scutellum pale greyish-brown; metanotum chestnut-brown with a narrow, dark median line; pleurae brown with grey tomentum.

Abdomen blackish-brown clothed with scattered golden hairs, when viewed facing the light shiny-black and metallic.

Legs long, ochraceous-brown with dark brown scales, especially towards their extremities, ventral surface of femora ochraceous-brown; there is also a pale kneespot on all the legs and a pale spot at the end of the hind tibiae.

Wings with the veins edged with thin, longish, brown scales, mid cross-vein in advance of the supernumerary and posterior cross-veins, the latter distant from the mid more than its own length; stems of the two fork-cells about equal, first submarginal cell a little over twice the length of its stem and longer than the second posterior cell, base of the first cell a little nearer the base of the wing than that of the second posterior cell; fringe all brown.

Halteres with ochraceous stem and a large globular dusky knob.

Length of body, 5.5 to 6 mm., with proboscis, 10 mm.; of wings, 5.5 mm.; of hind legs, 12 mm.

Habitat.-Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada (E. M. Walker).
Time of capture.-September.

Observations. This species closely resembles the European A. bifurcatus, but differs from it in regard to the head ornamentation, the browner appearance of the thorax and the relative positions of the cross-veins as shown in Figure 60. When viewed under the microscope in some lights there will be seen four grey thoracic stripes which are also characteristic, especially when the thorax is rubbed. No males were unfortunately sent. All the specimens were taken from beds of reeds close to the low marshy shore of Lake Simcoe. I should not be surprised if this proved to be Wiedemann's A. ferruginosus (Auss. Zwei. Ins. p. 12, 1828) from New Orleans, there being a striking resemblance in the thorax. DESCRIPTION OF FEMALE OF ANOPHELES WALKERI (MALE AND LABVA UNKNOWN):
