N.B. — In his 4th volume Mr. Theobald definitely confirms 

 kumasii, Chalmers, as .synonymous with M. funesta, Giles, and 

 remarks that it has not yet been found in India. 



Miss Ludlow records this species from Samar, Laguna, Pan- 

 gasinan, Pampanga, Tayabas, Mindanao, Sciassi, Rizal, and other 

 localities in the Philippine Islands, where it appears to occur all 

 the year round except during March and April. 



'' A proven host of the malarial parasite in Africa, with a 

 moderate distribution in the Philippines ; is always taken where 

 malaria is present or prevalent" (Ludlow). 



The types of the varieties iimhrosa and sub-umbrosa are in 

 the British Museum. 



M. indefinita, Ludl., 1904. 

 M. rossii var. indefinita, Ludl., Can. Ent., xxxvi, 299. 



Add. Ref.— Theob., Monog. Culic, iv, 47. 



N.B. — Now accepted as a good species, although at one time 

 considered intermediate between rossii and ludlowii. IMiss 

 Ludlow records it from all parts (26 different localities) of the 

 Philippines, where it occurs all the year round. This author says, 

 " Never the subject of experiment, though widely distributed, 

 taken in large numbers, and present during malarial outbreaks ; 

 does not occur alone in a sufficient number of stations to be indi- 

 cative, and its ability as host must be left in doubt." 



Type in Army Medical Museum, Washington.

Add. Ref.— Theob., Monog. Culic, v, 22, figs, of a* $ palpi and 

 palmate hair.

Giles, in his " Revision of the Anophelina " (1904) thinks this 

 = Anopheles pictus, Lw. (184s), but Theobald (Monog., iv, 124, 

 and V, 29) says that his (Theobald's) species is nothing Hke Locw's 

 description.
