﻿Known larvae of African culicinae. 385 



are only present in one specimen, and seem to be somewhat distorted, the 

 external position of the tuft may not be normal. The basally situated siphon 

 tuft is unusual. 



Genus Eretmopodites, Theo. 



Siphon almost three times as long as broad, pecten present, contain 

 ing three spines, two short and one long, tuft absent ; comb- 

 teeth sharply pointed ... ... ... ... chrysog aster ', Gran. 



Siphon hardly twice as long as broad, pecten absent, the only 

 appendage of the siphon being the two-haired tuft ; comb-teeth 

 blunt-ended, and rather nearer together than in the preceding 



inornatus, Newst. 



The pupae of these two species are easily distinguishable, for while in 

 E. chrysog 'aster the anal flaps have only one terminal bristle, in E. inornatus they 

 have several (from three to seven) in a tuft. 



Young larvae of E. chrysogaster are very much like the full-grown ones, but 

 have fewer comb-scales (about 12 instead of about 30).
