INSEICUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 103 



in this latitude, it is probable that the Jamaican form is the 

 same. The type locality of philosophicus may be restricted 

 to Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, Knab's breeding number 

 295, the type being a male, figured in the monograph, plate 23, 

 figure 162. The type of affirmatus may be restricted to the 

 locality Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, Mexico. No male is at hand 

 from this locality ; but as it is not far distant from the former, 

 this synonymy, previously established, may be confirmed. 



Typical males are before me from Miraflores, Canal Zone, 

 Panama, May 9, 1908 (A. H. Jennings), and Tobago Island, 

 West Indies, July, 1905 (A. Busck). Females with toothed 

 claws also are before me from Trinidad, B. W. I. (F. W. 

 Urich and A. Busck). Intermediate localities indicated by 

 females with toothed claws are : Port Limon, Costa Rica 

 (F. Knab) ; Las Loras, near Puntarenas, Costa Rica (F. 

 Knab) ; San Jose, Costa Rica (F. Knab) ; Paramaribo, 

 Surinam (J. Bonne- Wepster) ; Georgetown, British Guiana, 

 "Schepmoed," January 29, 1906 (E. D. Rowland) ; Rupenuni, 

 British Guiana (K. S. Wise). 



The larva is described in the monograph as equinus (vol. iv, 

 873, 1917), Knab's breeding numbers 295 and 318, but no 

 figure was published. 



The larvae occur in the water in holes in trees. 



Haemagogus (Stegoconops) capricornii Lutz. 



Haemagogus capricornii Lutz in Bourroul, Mosq. do Brasil, 66, 

 1904. 



Described from Brazil from females only. The male is 

 unknown, and I have none from anywhere near the locality. 

 It is highly probable that this is a synonym of H. equinus, 

 since species with as wide a range as that commonly extend 

 also to Brazil. However, in the absence of the male the name 

 is temporarily held apart. 



In the monograph we recognize capricornii from the Canal 

 Zone and Trinidad and state that the male has short palpi, 

 figuring the hypopygium of the supposed male on plate 24, 

 figure 165. The male figured is from Trinidad (F. W. Urich, 

 breeding number 17), but there exists no reason for associat-
