Extract
The salient points in Pallas's brief description are as follows:—“Cinereus … Frons hirtella. Antennae triarticulatae; extremum trinode, basis vero pilis nigris subpennata. Palmi [? palpi] nulli: ensis nudus … basi pilosus. Pedes longissimi, grisei, posticis corporis fere tripla longitudine, praesertim tarsi, elongati. Alae lanceolatae, cinerascentes, venis hirsutis ad crassiorem marginem nigro maculatae … Comes prioris [C.caspius, = O.dorsalis, Mg.], rarior red ferocior.”

page 129 note * Dr. Guy Marshall urges the retention of this name, rather than the adoption of the earlier argenteus, Poiret, owing to its wide use in medical literature; a course which has been sanctioned in a few cases by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenelature. With this suggestion I readily concur. The names Stegomyia and Ochlerotatus though used here as genera are to be understood in a subgeneric sense.
page 136 note * These are the structures called “unci” by Howard, Dyar & Knab, but as they are undoubtedly homologous with the “harpagones” of Culex I use this term for them. The same names are used in quite different senses in different genera of CULICIDAE, and the terminology of the parts of the male genitalia of these and other Diptera is badly in need of revision and unification.
