898 MOSQUITOES OF NOETH AMEKICA 



The female probably does not take blood. The larvae are obviously vegetable 

 feeders. Their method of respiration has not been demonstrated, but as the 

 tracheae of the air-tube are rudimentary and the anal gills small,* it seems that 

 the larvae must get most of their air supply by osmosis through the body wall. 

 They have no means of obtaining air from the roots of the aquatic plants, such 

 as Mansonia larvae have. It is possible that the inflated antennae play some 

 part in the respiratory process.

Aedeomyia sqiuimipennis has been reported from the tropics of the Old 

 World, but it has been found that a different species occurs there. This form 

 has been described from the Philippines under the name A. catasticta, and has 

 been since reported from various localities in the East Indies and Africa.
