 A. tibiomaciilatus, A. gilesi, A. (Myzorhynchella) hitzi, A. {M.) parvus,

 medius, A. (C) pseudomaculipes, A. {Chagasia) fajardoi, A. {Cellia) 

 braziliensis, and A . (C.) allopha. The other 6 species are : Anopheles lutzi, 

 A. {Cydoleppteron) mediopunctatus , A. (C.) maculipes, A. {Stethomyia)

The two principal Anopheline carriers of malaria in Brazil are 

 Anopheles {Cellia) albimanus and A. (C.) argyrotarsis. Other vectors 

 are A.' {Cellia) braziliensis, A. {Cycloleppteron) mactdipes, A. (C.) 

 pseudomaculipes, A. (C.) mediopunctatus, A. (C.) intermedius, A. 

 {Myzorhynchella) lutzi, A. {M.) parvus, and A. {Stethomyia) nimbus. 



As regards breeding-places A. lutzi prefers Bromeliaceae ; A. argy- 

 rotarsis and A. albimanus, springs, tanks and swamps. 



Among the natural enemies of mosquitos are a number of fish such 

 as Girardinus caudimaculatus, Poecilia vopora, Glaridodon januarius, 

 and Jenynosia lineata.

This paper describes the campaign against Stegomyia [fasciata] 

 at Guayaquil since 24th November 1918. The decrease of yellow fever 

 coincided with the screening of water-tanks and other containers. 

 There are nearly 7,000 tanks in use in the city, as the pipe-borne supply 

 is inadequate. Nearly 30,000 other containers had to be inspected. 

 The tanks were covered with either copper wire screens, galvanised iron,
