similar variation occurs in the closely allied Ethiopian species, 
A. funestus. 
The collector has made the following note on this species. 
‘* Between October 2nd. and October 20th. I saw only one 
Anopheline mosquito at Tiberias. On October 16th the first 
rain of the season fell and on the morning of the 20th. I 
noticed numerous Anophelines of both sexes flying into my 
room through the window. The same species continued to be 
common in ‘the tise vantil I left Tiberias on October 27th, I 
found the larvae in small pools and springs among stones at 
the edge of the lake. Some of the springs were slightly 
saline.’” The single larva sent was too denuded to be of any

Determined by comparison with specimens sent from Hun-

spots on the abdominal segments.

I have mounted a hypopygium of the male specimen, 
and find it to correspond exactly with typical C. pipiens from 
North Europe. It may be mentioned in passing that Dyar 
and Knab’s figure of the hypopygium (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash- 
ington, xi, 1909, pl. ii, fig. 4) does not show the parts in their 
normal positions, ore ee the figure having been made from 
pecimen moun flat on a slide. There is also an error in 
their ong gaa op: cit., p. 33): ‘* fourth’’ plate should read

Gibraltar, and (females) from British East Africa.

scaled, a little shorter than the abdomen. Palpi dark brown, 
exceeding the proboscis by less than the length of the last 
joint. Last two joints ie very slightly hairy, small
