Wings with typical brown Culex scales; first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its base considerably nearer
Page 443 - Culex scales; the first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its base much nearer the base of the wing than that of the latter; stem of the first sub-marginal very short, of the second posterior nearly as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein about three times its own length distant from the mid cross-vein.
Page 437 - scales; fork-cells of moderate size, first sub-marginal longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the wing, its stem less than half the length of the cell; stem of the second posterior cell nearly as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein at least three times its own length distant from the mid cross-vein.
Page 435 - nearly straight lateral scales, the scales on the sub-costal and first long vein darker and very dense, those forming the upper border of the wing black and lanceolate; the first sub-marginal cell a little longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, Its base nearer the base of the wing than that of the latter, its stem equal to about

Page 136 - also the branches of the second to fifth and the base of the second; first sub-marginal cell longer and a little narrower than the second posterior cell, its base considerably nearer the base of the wing than the base of the latter, stem about one-third the length of the cell; stem of the second posterior cell
Page 369 - venter of femora creamy-grey; knee spot faint; ungues small, equal and simple. Wings with the first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the wing than that of the latter; its stem less than one-fourth the length of the cell; stem of the second posterior rather more than half the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein
Page 202 - nearer the base of wing than that of the second posterior cell; stem of the second posterior cell much longer than that of the former cell, about two-thirds the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein longer than the mid cross-vein, about one and a fourth times Its own length distant from It
Page 60 - second posterior cell, its stem not quite half the length of the cell, its base a little nearer the base of the wing than that of the second posterior cell; stem of the latter longer
