General Distribution. India, Africa, South Europe, Australia, South America, West 

 Indies and most Oceanic Islands. 



The common Brown Household Mosquito of the tropics and sub-tropics, its place 

 taken in temperate and sub-Arctic regions by Culex pipiens, Linnseus. 



Genus T^NIORHYNCHUS, Arribalzaga, 1891. 



Panoplites, Theobald, Monog. Culicid., ii. 173, 1901; iii. 269, 1903; iv. 494, 1907; 

 V. 446, 1910. Mansonia, Blanchard, Compt. Rend. Soc. Biol., p. 1046, t. hii, 1901. 



7. Species ? {p7-ohably new). 



Some spirit specimens (4), badly damaged and even the wings mostly denuded, with 

 the following note : — " Mahe, Seychelles, cultivated low country (Barbarous). Given by 

 Jules Michel, 1908." 



The bracket-like wing scales remaining are longer than in any species I have 

 seen, and the apical palpal segment is longer. A large mosquito 6 ram. long, certainly 

 undescribed, and may possibly belong to a new genus near TcBniorhynchus.
