6 The Mosquitoes or Culicidae of Jamaica. 



In Vol. III. of the same Monograph, issued in 1903, the 

 genus Cycloleppteron was more fully detailed (p. 55), and an 

 account of its life-history given. Some slight errors crept in here, 

 jwhish I now v. T ish to rectify. Anopheles argyrotarsis was placed 

 in v bhe neW gemjs Cellia. The following new species of Culex 

 ^ece M.dded to the- Jamaican fauna Culex janitor (p. 183), and 

 Culex similic (p.- 207). , Culex atratus was placed in a new genus 

 which I named Melanoconion (p. 238), Culex jamaicensis in the 

 new genus Grabhamia, and to this genus two other species were 

 added Grabhamia pygmaea (p. 245) and G. sollicitans, Walker 

 (p. 247). Another new record was Mansonia titillans, Walker. 

 Culex WalJceri was placed, on further examination, in the genus 

 Hoivardina (p. 287), which at that time was thought to be an 

 Aedine. Thus by April, 1903, the known Culicid fauna had 

 increased to sixteen definite species. 



In November, 1903, Culex tortilis, and a new species of 

 Haemagogus, H. equinus, were described (Entomologist, Nov. 

 1903, p. 281). 



Since that date Dr. Grabham has sent me Arribalzagia 

 maculipes, Theobald, Cellia albipes, Theobald, Anopheles puncti- 

 pennis, Say, and Uranotaenia Lowii, Theobald. 



In this paper I describe a new Dendromyia, thus bringing the 

 total known species of Jamaica up to twenty-five. 



There are a good many more West Indian forms not found 

 in Jamaica. Some I feel sure may occur there, but judging from 

 our present knowledge there seems to be a decided difference 

 between the Culicid fauna of many of the islands, notably 

 between Trinidad and Jamaica, the former approaching that 

 of South America, the latter the south of North America, with 

 its GrabJiamias and Culices-, nevertheless a southern genus, 

 Haemagogus, creeps into the Jamaican fauna.
