344 E. Brunetti : Catalogue of Oriental Culicidse. [VOL. I, 



Generally distributed through India and the Straits^ common 

 during the rains. Theobald says that owing to the type having 

 apparently been lost, a comparison is impossible, but the species 

 identified by him with it is generalh^ known as Desvoidy's concolor. 

 The original description is too meagre for satisfactory determina- 

 tion, and Theobald and Banks both concur in considering it must 

 be removed from the genus Culex. 



Patton found it breeding in a tank in the Aden hinterland, and 

 Capt. James and Aitken have also studied the larvae (Theob. Monog., 

 iii, 231) which voraciously fed on other CulicidcB larvae and were, 

 moreover, cannibalistic. They come from grassy pools and (oc- 

 casionally) wells. A species named " C. fuscanus " amongst the 

 old specimens at the British Museum is identified as concolor by 

 Theobald.
