During the past summer I received for identification from 

 Dr. Waltlior Horn (Berlin-Dalilem) a number of Formosa!i 

 mosquitoes collected by Herr li. Sauter. The chief interest 

 of the collection lay in two new species of Megarliinus (sub- 

 genus Toxorliynchites) which it contained, and which are 

 described below. Since little has been recorded concerning 

 the mosquitoes of Formosa, a list is given of the other species 

 contnined in the collection. Additional specimens collected 

 by Herr Sauter were sub'^equently received from the Budapest 

 ]\Juseum through Mr. F. V. Theobald ; the records of these 

 are included in the list, and are distinguislied by an 

 asterisk : — 



Anopheles (Anopheles) hj/rcanus (Pall.). — Toyen, Macuyama, 

 Anping, *Takao. Range of variation considerable, but 

 all of the typical Chinese form (rather light-coloured 

 body, narrow tarsal rings, fringe-spot usually present, 

 p;dpal rings moderately distinct).
