 Toblotia niveipes Goeldi, Os Mosq. no Para, 120, ^05. 



Prof. Goeldi has described and figured the larvae from Brazil. He 

 found them in the water in the leaves of Bromelias, in the axils of ban- 

 ana leaves and in holes in fallen trees. The species is distributed 

 throughout the moist tropics. Mr. Busck collected larvae in Trini- 

 dad from cacao husks and the junior author found them in cocoanut 

 shells and cacao husks at Puntarenas, Costa Rica, and Sonsonate and 

 Izalco, Salvador. The water in which they occur is very dirty, of a 

 thick consistency. The eggs are laid in rafts, erect as in Culex, but 

 of circular outline, not elliptical. Larvae which were brought home 

 lived for four months in the laboratory, perhaps delayed in develop- 

 ment by the absence of their natural rich food. 



Genus SABETHOIDES Theobald.

 Sabclhoides Blanchard, Les Moustiques, 423, 1905. 



We are not aquainted with the larva of the typical species of this 

 genus (confusus Theob.), but use the name on the supposition that 

 undosus Coq. has been correctly referred generically.

We have the larvae from Mr. Urich in Trinidad, who got them in 

 bamboo joints in St. Ann's Valley. Mr. Busck also collected them 

 and observed that they were predaceous, as is obvious from the 

 structure of the maxillae. 



Genus Lesticocampa, new. 



Differs from all the other Sabethid larvae by the remarkably de- 

 veloped mouth parts ; the maxillary palpi are much like the antennae 

 in size and shape; the maxillae are very large and project twice as 

 far as the antennae. Type, L. lunata Theob.

Described from Brazil. Our larvae are from Mr. Urich in Trini- 

 dad . He got them in Arima, in Bromelia water. They are probably
