NAMES AND SYNONYMY IN ANOPHELES 17 



habits and supposed disease-relation have been set forth in a most inter- 

 esting article by Lutz, " Waldmosquitos und Waldmalaria " (Centralbl. f. 

 Bakt., etc., Abt. 1, vol. 33, pp. 282-292, 1903; Abstract in Joum. 

 Trop. Med., vol. 6, pp. 111-113) and recently have been discussed by 

 the Vk^riter (Joum. Econ. Ent., vol. 5, p. 199, 1912; Proc. Ent. Soc. 

 Wash., vol. 14, p. 81, 1912). 



There are two other closely related species, which, like A. bolMcnsis, 

 breed exclusively in w^ater-bearing bromeliads. One of these {A. hella- 

 tor D. & K.) occurs on the island of Trinidad, auid probably also on the 

 adjoinmg mainland; the other rauiges from Pauiama northward to the 

 moist forest regions of southern Mexico. 



The numerous " genera " of anophelines, which have been in great 

 part responsible for the confusion and synonymy created, have been 

 repeatedly discussed by Dr. Dyar cind the writer. Recently opinions 

 similar to our own have been expressed by Alcock (" Remarks on the 

 classification of the Culicidae, with particular reference to the constitution 

 of the genus Anopheles," Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. 8, 1911, 

 pp. 240-250) and Edwards (" Some new West African species of 

 Anopheles (sensu lato), with notes on nomenclature," Bull. Ent. Research, 

 vol. 2, 1 9 1 1 , pp. 141-143; "A key for determining the African spe- 

 cies of Anopheles (sensu lato)," Bull. Ent. Research, vol. 3, 1912, 

 pp. 241-250). The synonymy of Anopheles lutzii of Theobald now 

 stands as follows : 



Anopheles boliviensis (Theobald).

^ There is some doubt that the observations there recorded really apply to this species.
