  Houailou, 
  31.vii. 
  and 
  l.viii.1914 
  ; 
  bred 
  from 
  pitcher 
  of 
  Nepenthes. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  referred 
  this 
  form 
  to 
  Rachionolomyia 
  rather 
  than 
  to 
  Rachisoura 
  or 
  Mime- 
  

   tcomyia 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  long 
  slender 
  proboscis 
  and 
  the 
  breeding 
  habits. 
  The 
  

   long 
  <J 
  palpi, 
  however, 
  are 
  unusual 
  in 
  this 
  genus 
  and 
  are 
  not 
  found 
  in 
  any 
  Oriental 
  

   species. 
  The 
  presence 
  of 
  well-marked 
  dorso-central 
  bristles 
  is 
  noteworthy, 
  since 
  

   these 
  bristles 
  are 
  otherwise 
  present 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  Colonemyia 
  group 
  of 
  Rachionolomyia 
  

   and 
  not 
  in 
  Rachisoura 
  or 
  Mimeteomyia. 
  The 
  new 
  species, 
  however, 
  lacks 
  the 
  

   conspicuous 
  ornamentation 
  of 
  the 
  Coloncmvia 
  group.

  « 
  Immediately 
  before 
  my 
  paper 
  appeared 
  in 
  print, 
  descriptions 
  were 
  published 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  S. 
  Yamada 
  of 
  ten 
  new 
  species 
  of 
  Aedes 
  from 
  Japan. 
  f 
  Three 
  of 
  these 
  

   were 
  recorded 
  only 
  from 
  Formosa, 
  but 
  the 
  following 
  should 
  be 
  added 
  to 
  our 
  list 
  of 
  

   Palaearctic 
  species 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Aedes 
  galloisi, 
  Yam. 
  Subgenus 
  Stegomyia, 
  near 
  S. 
  albopictus,

  Mr. 
  Yamada 
  has 
  kindly 
  shown 
  me 
  his 
  types, 
  and 
  I 
  can 
  confirm 
  the 
  distinctness 
  

   of 
  all 
  the 
  species 
  (except 
  A. 
  omurensis) 
  from 
  previously 
  described 
  forms. 
  All 
  except 
  

   A. 
  esoensis 
  are 
  of 
  Oriental 
  affinities.

  further

  and

  In 
  making 
  my 
  acknowledgments 
  I 
  unfortunately 
  omitted 
  the 
  names 
  

   of 
  several 
  correspondents 
  who 
  had 
  assisted 
  me 
  with 
  specimens. 
  These 
  were 
  : 
  Dr. 
  

   M. 
  Langeron, 
  Paris 
  ; 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  Boag, 
  Aguilas, 
  S.

  ;

  The 
  researches 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Yamada 
  indicate 
  that 
  the 
  boundary 
  between 
  

   the 
  Oriental 
  and 
  Palaearctic 
  types 
  of 
  mosquito 
  fauna 
  in 
  Japan 
  is 
  between 
  the 
  islands 
  

   of 
  Honshu 
  and 
  Hokkaido, 
  or 
  roughly 
  the 
  40th 
  parallel 
  of 
  latitude. 
  The 
  mountains 
  

   of 
  northern 
  Honshu 
  also 
  seen 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  Palaearctic 
  type 
  of 
  fauna.

  Aedes 
  salinellus 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  list, 
  with 
  an 
  

   American 
  representative

  Mr. 
  Stanley 
  B. 
  Freeborn 
  has 
  called 
  my 
  attention 
  to 
  a 
  paper 
  (Journal 
  

   of 
  Parasitology, 
  vii, 
  pp. 
  67-79, 
  1921) 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  and 
  Prof. 
  Herms 
  have 
  described 
  

   the 
  eggs 
  of 
  Anopheles 
  occidentalis 
  (under 
  the 
  name 
  A. 
  quadrimaculatus). 
  These 
  

   resemble 
  those 
  of 
  A. 
  maculipennis 
  except 
  that 
  the 
  average 
  number 
  of 
  divisions 
  in 
  

   the 
  lateral 
  floats 
  is 
  smaller 
  (12 
  instead 
  of 
  about 
  16). 
  This 
  confirms 
  the 
  status 
  of 
  

   A. 
  occidentalis 
  as 
  at 
  most 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  A. 
  maculipennis.

  Dr. 
  M. 
  Langeron 
  (Archives 
  de 
  l'lnst. 
  Pasteur 
  de 
  1'Afrique 
  du 
  Nord, 
  i, 
  

   pp. 
  347-382, 
  1921) 
  has 
  briefly 
  described 
  the 
  larva 
  of 
  A. 
  sergenti. 
  It 
  resembles 
  

   .4. 
  ciilici 
  fades 
  and 
  A. 
  funestus 
  in 
  having 
  palmate 
  hairs 
  on 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  seven 
  

   abdominal 
  segments 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  thorax. 
  He 
  does 
  not 
  mention 
  the 
  abdominal 
  scuta, 
  

   the 
  size 
  of 
  which 
  would 
  decide 
  to 
  which 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  A, 
  sergenti 
  is 
  more 
  nearly 
  

   related.
