N .B. — Dr. Leicester sa5^s the larva can be found in any 

 large open water, and adds, '' The larva described by Theobald 

 in vol. iii is, in my opinion, the larva sinensis and not barbirostris." 

 Theobald says malarial parasites can develop in this species but 

 rarely do so in nature. The larvae of the true form live in dark 

 pools ol all depths, with or without vegetation,

Type in British Museum according to Theobald's 5th volume, 

 but he previously informed me that it was lost. 



IS.B. — '' The larvae are usually found in deep shady pools, 

 containing grass and water-weed, at some distance from habita- 

 tions, and the adults are seldom met with in houses " (James and 

 Liston)j 



The larval characters given by these authors {loc. cit., p. Si) 

 refer to the present species and not to the true nigerrtjuus , Giles, a 

 species which is quite distinct, but which has been confused with 

 minutus. 



The embryos of Filaria bancrofti can develop in this species. 



M. nigerrimus, Giles.

 in any large collection of water, if not very stagnant, in the 

 Malav Peninsula.
