and hypopharynx as with other species. Labium with its teeth 
nearly of uniform size. Five or six setae in each of the two 
ventral rows [fig.7]. Anal papillae were retracted in all the 
specimens examined; hence I could not determine the number. 
The pupa has 12 respiratory filaments in each tuft [fig.4]. The 
abdominal hooks, curved cephalad, are as follows: three or four 
on ventral surface of each of segments 5, 6 and 7; eight on the 
dorsal surface of 3, 4 and 5; and a pair of very short, blunt 
tubercles on the anal segment. The pupal case is shaped as 
shown on plate 35, figure 5. 
Family cuLICIDAE 
Mosquitos 
The Culicidae, or mosquitos, have been studied and described 
py Dr Howard, Mr Coquillett and others in this country, and by 
Theobald, Ficalbi, Ross, Nuttall, Shipley, Grassi, and others in 
Kurope in such detail that it is unnecessary to repeat here that 
which has already been done. I shall therefore content myself 
with merely giving a synopsis of the generic characters of the 
larvae, pupae and adults, and describing a few forms such as 
have come under my notice, together with figures illustrating 
details of structure. An extensive bibliography is given by 
Ficalbi in Bullet. d. Soc. Ent. Italiana, 1896, to which the reader 
is referred. Nuttall and Shipley, in the Journal of Hygiene, 1:75, 
give a bibliography of the more recent work. I shall therefore 
give only a few references to articles which occur in American 
literature and a few of the more important of the works of 
Europeans.
