Sept, 1903] Ludlow: Some Philippine Mosquitoes. 143 



Legs : cox?e and trochanters colored like pleurae, femora light fawn-colored dor- 

 sally, white ventrally ; tibia; much the same ; metatarsi and tarsi rather darker — a 

 light brown — the scales are all small and on these joints give golden reflections. 

 Ungues small, simple and equal. 



Wings covered with small fawn-colored scales: first submarginal a little longer 

 and nearly the same width as second posterior, the stems of both about two thirds the 

 length of the cells ; supernumerary cross-vein same length as mid which it meets : 

 posterior cross-vein same length as mid and about two and a half times its length dis- 

 tant. Halteres, light stem, fawn-colored knob. Fhe third long vein is extended 

 into the base cells by an incrassation nearly as heavy as that found in Desvoidirc. 



Length 3-3.5 mm. 



Male differs very slightly from the female. Antennx a soft light brown, and 

 the tufts of the palpi are small and of the same general fawn-color; the thorax fre- 

 quently lacks the two light brown submedian lines and is perhaps lighter. Ungues 

 of fore and mid legs slightly uneven, the larger bearing a long tooth about midway. 



A very delicate looking insect, the general translucent appearance 

 of the thorax and small opalescent scales giving an appearance of great 

 fragility. 



Habitat. — Oras, Samar. Caught, August 6. 



The culices are mostly wide-spread, gelidus, aeci/s and /rax^///s being 



apparently the most restricted as to localities ; fatigans is of course 



universal. 



Grabhami.^ Theobald. 



Grabhamia spencerii Theobald. 



This specimen was taken at Hagonoy Bulacan, Luzon, P. L, and 



as G. spencerii was reported only from Manitoba and there were some 



slight variations I hesitated to place it under this species, but I have 



since taken it at San Francisco, Cal., and Mr. Theobald has written 



that it is almost surely this species, which is quite variable. 



Mansgni^e. 

 Mansonia annulifera Theobald. 

 Masonia africana vel uniformis Theobald. 



Mr. Theobald writes me that africana and uniformis are identical, 

 some badly preserved specimens from a different locality being re- 

 sponsible for the second species. J/, africana occurs in many parts 

 of the Islands. 



^DOMVLE. 



/Edeomyia squammipenna Arribalzaga. 



This is rarely taken, only two specimens having been sent in dur- 

 ing the three years.
