Haemagogus (Haemagogus) lucifer Howard, Dyar & Knab. 

 Stegoconops lucifer Howard, Dyar & Knab, Mosq. No. & Cent. 

 Am. & W. I., ii, pi. 23, fig. 164, 1913. 



While the monograph was in press, we were informed by 

 Mr, F. W. Edwards that the types of Haemagogus splendens 

 Will, had setae upon the postnotum. W^e supposed, therefore, 

 that Haemagogus must be a Sabethid genus, and we therefore 

 used the new name lucifer for the specimens before us that 

 we were treating as Haemagogus splendens. This name ap- 

 pears in the volume of plates, although we were able to sup- 

 press it in the final treatment of the genus, which did not 

 appear until five years later. The name lucifer, therefore, 

 depends upon the published figure, which was made from a 

 specimen from Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama (A. H. Jen- 

 nings, breeding number 399), and this locality becomes the 

 type locality. 



The species is locally abundant on the Atlantic coast of 

 Panama, but does not extend far inland. Only three localities 

 are before me, from Tabernilla, many specimens collected by 

 Jennings and Busck ; Lion Hill, Canal Zone, Panama (A. 

 Busck) ; Caldera Island, Porto Bello Bay, Panama, May 23 

 and August 12, 1908 (A. H. Jennings). 



The larva figured as of this species in the monograph (vol. 

 ii, pi. 77, 1912) does not belong to it. 



The larva (Jennings, No. 392) has the secondary abdominal 

 hairs strongly stellate (tufts of 7 to 9) ; skin glabrous; lateral 

 comb of the eighth segment of many scales in a rather small 

 triangular patch, the single scale thick, long, smooth on the 

 sides, and only obsoletely feathered at the tip ; air tube mod- 

 erately short, tapered at tip, the pecten not reaching the mid- 

 dle, of long spines, in a slightly curved row, followed by a 

 two-haired tuft ; anal segment scarcely half encircled by the 

 plate, which has an irregular edge ; a small triangular plate 

 beside the ventral brush.
