Leicester says in the above reference " nov. gen.," yet adds 

 " In Theobald's Monograph it is stated that in members of this 

 genus there are no upright scales on the head.'* 



He adds, " Five species are here described, and they are all 

 apparently new species, though quasiferox may prove to be merely 

 a variety of M. ferox, or immisericors.' '

The examples from which this species was described were 

 obtained by Dr. Finlayson of Singapore, all of them being bred 

 from larvae found in pitcher plants in the neighbourhood of 

 Singapore. The author notes that the colours fade very con- 

 siderably after death.

 elaborate Monograph on the '' Culicidae of Malaya," with con- 

 tinuous pagination. 



Bred from larvae found in the pitcher plant Nepenthes raffle- 

 siana, on the east coast of Pahang.

' ' Described from one cf bred from a pupa taken in a bamboo 

 jungle 6 miles from Kuala Lumpur. A very funereal looking mos- 

 quito ; some of the more beautiful colours are only seen with a 

 lens " (Leicester).

" Bred from larvae obtained from the water collected in 

 living bamboos, which had been pierced by an insect borer, the 

 only entrance to the water being through the small hole thus 

 made." Leicester compares his new species with splendens and 

 notes minor differences, but it must be remembered that at 

 the time Wiedemann wrote, the limited number of known species 

 made unnecessary the lengthy and detailed descriptions required 

 in the present state of our knowledge.
