C. inflicfus has the abdomen without bands ; in palus narrow 

 basal segmental bands are present ; in carmodyce there are 

 very faint brown rings at both ends of the tarsal joints. This 

 variety seems confined to Santo Domingo, although not all the 

 specimens from there are so affected. The larva of micro- 

 sqitamosiis is really spiculate and not glabrous, as given in 

 the monograph by error ; the proboscis also is not swollen at 

 the tip. In the larva of carmodycc there were probably four 

 hair-tufts on the tube, one having been detached and not three 

 as given in the monograph. They agree entirely otherwise.

The genitalia are not distinguishable from inflictus; but the 

 adult female has basal abdominal bands not widened at the 

 sides, although they may be absent. The larva has the air tube 

 a little shorter than in inflictus: the third pair of head hairs 

 are more approximate. In proximus the skin of the larva is 

 really spicular, not glabrous as erroneously stated in the mono- 

 graph.
