A. INGRAM AND J. W. S. MACFIE. 



Breeding place. — The larvae were found flourishing in the dark brown water that 

 had collected in a hole partly filled with decaying vegetable matter in a Flamboyant 

 tree (see Plate IV, fig. 1). With them were associated larvae of A. costalis, 

 A. marshalli, S. fasciata and S. luteocephala.

In our former description of the larva of this species (Bull. Ent. Res., vii, p. 12) 

 certain gaps had to be left owing to lack of sufficient material for examination. As 

 we have been fortunate enough to procure further specimens, we are now able to 

 complete the description.
