and liypoxjbarynx as with other species. Labium with its teeth 

 nearly of uniform size. Five or six setae in each of the two 

 ventral rows [flg.T]. Anal papillae were retracted in all the 

 specimens examined; hence I could not determine the number. 

 The pupa has 12 respiratory filaments in each tuft [flg.4]. The 

 abdominal hooks, curved cephalad, are as follows: three or four 

 on ventral surface of each of segments 5, 6 and 7; eight on the 

 dorsal surface of 3, 4 and 5; and a ijair of very short, blunt 

 tubercles on the anal segment. The pupal case is shaped as 

 shown on plate 35, figure 5. 



Family culicidab 

 jMosquitos 

 The Gulicidae, or mosquitos, have been studied and described 

 by Dr Howard, Mr Coquillett and others in this country, and by 

 Theobald, Ficalbi, Ross, Nuttall, Shipley, Grassi, and others in 

 Europe in such detail that it is unnecessary to repeat here that 

 which has already been done. I shall therefore content myself 

 with merely giving a synopsis of the generic characters of the 

 larvae, pupae and adults, and describing a few forms such as 

 have come under my notice, together with figures illustrating 

 details of structure. An extensive bibliography is given by 

 Ficalbi in Bullet, d. Soc. Ent. Italiana, 1896, to which the reader 

 is referred. Nuttall and Shipley, in the Journal of Hygiene, 1:75, 

 give a bibliography of the more recent work. I shall therefore 

 give only a few references to articles which occur in American 

 literature and a few of the more important of the works of 

 Europeans.
