 of Belgium.] — Mem. Mus. R. cVHist. Nat. de Belgique, viii, no.

The habits and structure of the larvae and pupae ace briefly reviewed, 

 and the morpho ogy of the adults described in considerable detail. 

 Tables ior the identification of the Belgian genera and species are 

 given, most of them being also fully described and illustrated. Eighty- 

 seven species are dealt with in all, twenty-two of these being regarded 

 as new. 



The following Belgian species of Culicoides are recognised : 

 G. amoenus, Winn., C.varius, Winn., C.fascipennis, Winn , C. arcuatus, 

 Winn., C. pictipennis, Winn., C. pulicaris, L., C. impunctatus, sp. n., 

 G. punctaticollis, nom. n. {puncticollis, Goet., nee Becker), G. unima- 

 culatus, nom. n. {kiefferi, Goet., nee Patton & Cragg), C. albicans 

 Wion., and G. pmnilus, Winn.

This paper is mainly devoted to a revision of the European Cera- 

 topogoninae, tables being given for the determination of almost 

 all the described species. [A table for determining the genera has 

 been pubhshed by the author in the same journal, vol. vi, pp. 292-296, 

 and is not repeated here.] Numerous figures of the details of antennal 

 structure are given. In the genus Gulicoides, 44 species are tabulated, 

 the following being described as new : — G. latipennis, G. nanulus, 

 G. cinerellus, G. subfasciipennis, G. guttularis, G. pallidicornis, and 

 G. lacteinervis from Hungary, G. belgicus from Belgium, and G. susae 

 from Italy.

In view of the return to Germany of many malaria carriers from the 

 armies, the need for ascertaining the distribution and frequency of 

 Anophelines became evident, in order to estabhsh sanatoria in mosquito- 

 free locahties and to discover the districts where malaria might again 

 become epidemic as in early times. In August 1918, the German 

 Ministry for the Interior invited the co-operation of the various German 

 States, and the Senate of the Hamburg Repubhc requested the Ham- 

 burg Institute for Tropical Diseases to undertake the work in its 

 territory. The author records his investigations in the present paper. 

 They chiefly deal with A. maculipennis. A. bifurcatus, which is less 

 common and is difficult to observe, and A. plumbeus {nigripes) were 

 only studied in an incomplete manner.
