The larva has been found in deep, shady pools, amongst grass 

 and weed. The adults are said to be less common in houses, and 

 James and Liston assert that the Filaria bancrofti can develop in 

 this species. They also are inclined to think that, in addition to 

 nigerrimus, vanus, minutus, indiensis, pseudopidus , alhoanmdatus 

 and sinensis may all represent the same species.

Mr. Theobald (who does not appear to have met withacf, 

 a sex which apparently has not been seen since Wiedemann's original 

 type) gave as sub-species of sinensis {vide Mon. 1, 140 et seq.), 

 pseudopidus Grassi, Italy ; {Anoph. pidus Ficalbi) ; " annularis 

 V. d. Wulp " & 9 { = vanus Wlk.) ; indiensis Theob. Mon. i, 145, 

 and nigerrimus Giles. 



In the " Genera Insectorum " he admits pseudopidus Grassi, 

 and nigerrimus Giles, as good species ; but sinks his " anmdans 

 Wulp" as a synonym of vanus Wlk., whilst indiensis does not appear ; 

 the only species of that name in that work being given as a variety 

 of Nyssorhynchus niaculipalpis Giles, and apparently has nothing to 

 do with sinensis Wied.
