Mr. Theobald is not quite certain that scholasticus is really separate from fatigans-. 
A species of which I have seen oniy one specimen taken at Canefield, Canje, and of which the 
description has not yet been published, will have to be added. It is a very dark mosquito with 
abdomen basally banded and a tibial spot on the hind legs. The curved scales on the head are 
light bronzy colour and both black and ochraceous cuneiform scales are present. 
Another new species comes also from Canefield, Canje Creek. Abdomen unbanded, with 
greyish lateral spots only seen in certain lights ; hind tarsi with distinct ochraceous spots and fore 
with traces. It comes near scholasticus, Theobald, but the tarsal bands and absence of tibial spot 
distinguish it. The thorax has browny brown hair-like scales as also the scutellum. The first 
forked cell of wing is long, about 4—1 of stem. : 
In Messrs. Dyar and Knab’s nomenclature lachrimans now stands for the local race of similis, 
the larva of which has some peculiari ies ; cubensis appears to be the West Indian type of fatigans, 
Wiedemann, fonnd here, but Me. Theobald declares our species identical with the we i 
insect. Dyar and Kanab prefer the name quinquefasciatus, say. to fatigans, Wied., on grounds of 
priority ; in replacing Gnopodeomyia inornata, Theobald, in Culex the name inornata becomes pre- 
occupied by illiston’s Culex inornatus and aikenii is transferred from above lachrimans to Theo- 
bald’s G. inornata,
