It seems advisable here to quote the author. 



" Mr. Theobald, to whom a specimen of this mos(|uito was 

 sent, suggests that it is probably Megarhinns immisericors , first 

 described by Walker, and in his recently published vol. iii, he has 

 placed M. immisericors in the genus Toxorhynchites. 



" He does not seem to have described the female. 



" If this is immisericors, I am at a loss to understand how it 

 can be placed in the genus Toxorhynchites, as the palpi are 

 distinctly five-jointed. As mentioned in the remarks on the 

 generic characters, I do not think the separation of Toxorhyn- 

 chites from Megarhinus is based merely on the palpi, though this 

 is the only character given by Theobald, but even on that ground 

 alone, this mosquito would be excluded. It now comes in 

 Teromyia.'^ 



Leicester adds that it probably breeds in the pitcher plant. 



T. raris, Leices., 1908. 

 Culic. Malaya, 56,0'. 



" Described from a & bred from a white larva taken in. 

 water collected in a bamboo in the jungle at LTla Klang. . . . 

 It is a very distinct species ' ' (Leicester). 



Apparently rare and very near magnificus. 



WORCESTERIA, Banks. 



Theobald (Monog. Culic, v, no) says this genus, erected on 

 minute difference in the palpi, is not valid and comes within reach 

 of Toxorhynchites. 



Sub-Family CULICINAE. 



Add. Rrfs. — Mr. Theobald (Monog. Culic, iv, 147) tabulates 

 63 genera, mentioning that others have been 

 subsequently described. 



Blanchard (Moust.. 231) gives the sub-family 

 characteristics. 



Leicester (Culic. Malaya, 64) includes, after his 

 notes on the sub-family, a table of all the 

 known genera up to 1905, though many of 

 them had not then l^een found in Malaya. 



Col. Alcock divides this sub-family, whicii he 

 designates Culicales, into groups of genera 

 (su1>genera, presumably) as follows : the 

 Culex, Stegomyia, Acdes, Uraiiotacnia, Psoro- 

 phora and Mucidns grou])s. Under these 

 respective headings are given in this cata- 

 logue the so-called •• genera " embodied in 

 each.
