  A. 
  — 
  On 
  a 
  Collection 
  of 
  Mosquitos 
  from 
  Paraguay. 
  

  

  The 
  collection 
  here 
  described 
  was 
  sent 
  for 
  determination 
  by 
  Dr. 
  K. 
  Kertesz 
  to 
  

   Mr. 
  F. 
  V. 
  Theobald 
  in 
  1911, 
  and 
  was 
  passed 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  writer 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Theobald 
  in 
  1921. 
  

   Most 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  were 
  collected 
  by 
  Fiebrig, 
  and 
  these 
  unfortunately 
  bear 
  no 
  

   exact 
  data. 
  A 
  few 
  (including 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Janthinosoma 
  paraguayensis) 
  were 
  collected 
  

   by 
  Vezenyi, 
  mostly 
  at 
  Asuncion 
  in 
  1904. 
  Though 
  not 
  large, 
  the 
  collection 
  contains 
  

   a 
  high 
  percentage 
  of 
  apparently 
  undescribed 
  forms, 
  which 
  are 
  dealt 
  with 
  below. 
  

   The 
  holotypes 
  of 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  Budapest 
  Museum, 
  

   but 
  in 
  those 
  cases 
  where 
  the 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  described 
  from 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  cotypes, 
  

   the 
  material 
  has 
  been 
  divided 
  between 
  the 
  Budapest 
  Museum 
  and 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  

   Since 
  little 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  recorded 
  concerning 
  the 
  mosquitos 
  of 
  Paraguay, 
  

   I 
  give 
  first 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  all 
  the

  in 
  the 
  collection.
