Aedes {Finlaya) euckptes, sp. n., and .-1. {Siegomyia) christianns,.

Since the publication of the author's previous paper [R.A.E., B, 

 vii, 107] further material from Argentina has been examined and the 

 mosquitos dealt with include : Sabethes cyaneits, F., Limatiis leontiniae, 

 Brethes, Aedes scapularis, Rond., and Uranotaenia pulcherrima, 

 L\-nch. 



' Culex dolosa of Lynch [loc. cit.] must be restricted to his male 

 (= bonariensis, Brethes), while his female becomes A edes lynchii, Brethes. 

 Psorophora apicalis, Theo., and P. neoapicalis, Theo., are synonyms 

 of P. confinnis, Lynch. Haemagogns spegazzinii, Brethes, is the same 

 as H. capricorni i~ lAXiz, from Brazil, but the exact status of the latter 

 species must await the discovery of the male. It may be s3aionymous 

 with H. equinus, Theo.

//. Conip. Path. & Therap., Edinburgh, xxxiv, pt. 3, September 

 1921, pp. 211-240, 1 fig. 



A summary is given of the African tr^-panosomes of cattle. They 

 are : Trypanosoma congolense, very pathogenic, transmitted by 

 Glossina spp. ; T. vivax, pathogenic, transmitted by Glossina spp. ; 

 T. iinifonne, possibly identical with T. vivax, pathogenic and trans- 

 mitted by G. palpalis ; T. evansi, slightly pathogenic and also occurring 

 in South'Asia, the Philippines and Mauritius, transmitted mechanically 

 by Tabanids and other biting ffies ; T. britcei, slightly pathogenic, 

 transmitted by Glossina spp. ; T. gambiense, sHghtly pathogenic, 

 transmitted by G. palpalis ; T. theileri, non-pathogenic, occurring 

 in every part of the world, transmitted by Hippobosca, and probably 

 by Tabanus glancopis in Germany ; and T. ingens, non-pathogenic.

Herpetomonas craggi, sp. n., is parasitic in the ahmentary tract 

 of adults of Musca bezzii, where it evidently completes its life-cycle, 

 as it has not been found in either mature or immature larvae. Although 

 over 30 per cent, of the females of M. bezzii are also infected with a
