Theobald (Monog., ii, 281 & ? , fig. 291, wing) publishes 

 Giles's description with " Allahabad and Lucknow, in houses," as 

 data. 



Giles suggested that the species belonged to Theobald's Wyeo- 

 myia, but the latter replied, " Some mistake has been made here ; 

 the insect referred to is undoubtedly a typical Culex." In vol. iii 

 (Monog.), p. 147, he writes that " it is now said by Giles to be a 

 Stegomyia, vide his Handbk., 2nd Ed., 380." Theobald continues 

 (I.e.), " I have not seen the specimen, which appears to have 

 beeii lost. Another locality is given, viz., Jhansi." Probably 

 the fact of what is apparently the type being lost, accounts for 

 Theobald not including the species in the " Genera Insectorum." 

 Moreover he speaks of " the specimen," but from Giles's original 

 description (in Theob. Monog., i, 281), the author appeared to 

 have several examples.
