to conform with the usage of European authors and for a number of 

 other reasons. The p^mdor group of this subgenus may be divided 

 into two series, the pundor series proper, in which the spine on the 

 basal lobe of the side-piece of the male hypopygium is a normal one, 

 and the spenceri series, in which the spine is modified. The first series 

 is represented in the north European fauna almost species by species 

 with the American ; the second series is not, as far as is known, 

 represented in Europe at all. 



Of the species of this group described, Aedes [OdileyotaUis] dysanor, 

 from the eastern United States, is new.

 (Diptera, Culicidae). — Insecutor Inscitiae Menstruus. Washington, 

 D.C., ix, no. 4-6, April-June [issued 28th Feb.] 1921, pp. 98-99. 



The hitherto unknown larva and pupa of Sabethes bipartipes, D. & K., 

 are here described. The larvae were found in Surinam, in the water 

 of a hole in a fallen tree, feeding on Culex coronator, D. & K., C. 

 bonneae, D. & K., C. mollis, D. & K., and even Uranotaenia lowii, Theo. 

 Three adult females were bred from them.

Anopheles crucians, Wied., and Aedes sollicitans, Wlk., have been 

 taken far from the coast in southern Illinois, but the area is probably 

 underlaid with salt, thus approximating sea-coast conditions.

The author concludes from observations that Piroplasma canis may 

 be transmitted by fleas in marshy regions, especiafly in the 

 Mediterranean region. Trypanblue is an effective remedy.
