Respecting this species, Mr. Theobald had prepared for his 

 monograph a new species which he had named tessellatum , but which, 

 just previous to publication, he considered to be synonymous 

 with A. punctulata of Donitz, recenth^ published. He therefore 

 used the description of his species as that of A. punctulatus Donitz 

 in Mon. i, 175, and confirmed this opinion in vol. ii, 306 (Appendix), 

 for the sake of those correspondents who alread}^ possessed the 

 species under his MS. name. However, in vol. iii, 55, he says 

 that Donitz had informed him that the two species were quite 

 distinct. Therefore, Theobald's description in Mon. i, 175, for 

 what he there called A. punctulatus Donitz, stands good as the 

 original description and reference of his own tessellata, which now 

 ranks as a good species.

 conditions, hum.an malarial parasites will develop in the adult.
