1907-] Records of the Indian Museum. 303 



A vast amount of information on the life-histories and habits 

 of the species of this genus may be obtained from the recent works. 

 Mr. Theobald, in Monog. Culic, i, 115, gives general information; 

 a list of districts from which various species of A nopheles have been 

 received and recorded by the British Museum. On p. 118 is a map 

 of the geographical distribution of the genus, on p. 120 a synoptic 

 table of the world's species up to 1901. In vol. iii, p. 107, is a 

 list of species arranged according to the countries they inhabit ; 

 on p. I a chart, comparing the relative frequency of Anophelina 

 and Culicina. Plate v gives wing-scales of Anophelina ; p. 14 the 

 differences between the ova and larvae of the two groups A nophelina 

 and Culicina.

2. A. arabiensis Patton, 1905. 

 Jour. Bomb. So., xvi, 623 a' $ ; pi. A, wing, palpus, egg. 



" The commonest species in the district " (Aden hinterland) 

 [Patton]. 



The larva breeds in pools, streams and wells, apparently 

 breeding at different times of the year in different localities. 



The adult is certainly a malaria- transmitter, and, as far as 

 the writer (Patton) knows, is the only certain one under natural 

 conditions in this district. 



Locality : Aden hinterland [Patton].

 all round the native camps (alt. 5,000 feet).
