﻿78 DR. A. INGRAM — NOTES ON THE MOSQUITOS OBSERVED AT BOLE, &C. 



17. Mimomyia hispida, Theo. 



The larva of this species was not recognised. Pupae were found in November in 

 the same borrow-pit as the Mansonioides larvae. They have rather long curved 

 trumpets, directed forward, the tips of which are pale ; the anal plates are dark 

 and show spines and a white spot like the pupae of M. mimomyiaformis. 



18. Mimomyia plumosa, Theo. 



Large larvae, found only for one week during November, in the same borrow- 

 pit as the Mansonioides larvae. These larvae were very scanty. The pupa has 

 curved, forwardly directed, long trumpets, with a white apical piece ; the anal 

 plates are dark with a white spot, as in M. hispida. 



19. Mimomyia splendens, Theo. 



The larvae are like those of Ingramia malfeyti, Newst., but larger, having a 

 dark head and dark thoracic plumes. They were found in borrow-pits covered 

 with water-plant [Pistia] during October, November and December. The pupa 

 has long, straight, dark diverging trumpets, and is green in colour. 



20. Ingramia malfeyti, Newst. 



Small larvae, found in most of the water-holes containing clear water with 

 plenty of shade, from June to December, but at no time very numerous. The 

 larva has a dark head and long black thoracic plumes, but is otherwise of a very 

 pale green colour. The pupa is also pale green in colour and very active. 



21. Uranotaenia balfouri, Theo. 



A very short-siphoned larva (with marked stellate hairs) found scantily from 

 June to December ; commonest in August, in certain water-holes containing 

 water of a yellowish tinge and often having an iridescent surface film. The 

 larva is dark, with a rounded black head and thorax. The pupa is small and dark 

 brown in colour. The species is difficult to rear in artificial conditions. 



[In addition to the foregoing, Dr. Ingram has also succeeded in breeding the 

 following species : — Culex tigripes, Grp., C. grahami, Theo., C. ajyenteopunctatus, 

 Vent., Culiciomyia ?iebulosa, Theo., and Mimomyia mimomyiaformis, Newst. — Ed.]
