MYZOMYIA (ANOPHELES) LUDLOWII THEOBALD. 
By ©.-S> Lupiow; 
Army Medical Museum, Washington, D. C. 
For sometime there has been quite a good deal of discussion as 
to the breeding habits of this mosquito, different observers claim- 
ing that it bred in fresh water, in blackish or salt water, and that 
it bred in either. 
Without wishing to question the observations of any of those 
who have studied this Anopheline, and merely because there has 
lately appeared the definite statement, the foundation for which 
I do not know, that “Judlowii is exclusively a saline breeder,””! it 
seems better to publish what I myself know on this point. 
The specimens which I sent to Mr. Theobald, and on which the 
species was founded, were taken by Dr. Graves in the Province of 
1 The mosquitoes of North and Central America and the West Indies. L. O. Howard, H. G.
