OBSERVATIONS UPON THE MOSQUITO, CONCHYLIASTES MUSICUS. 



H. A. Morgan, Baton Rouge, La. 



Along- the creek bottoms of the uplands of Louisiana this mosquito 

 is not uncommon, and in these regions is frequently called the "swamp 

 mosquito,'' a name which is misleading, for in alluvial marshes and 

 swamps it is seldom seen. The female is tierce in its attack upon 

 mammals frequenting wooded regions in the vicinity of creeks. 

 Marked swellings usually follow the attack upon man. 



Nothing has been published relative to the life history of this mos- 

 quito. In fact, we are not aware of any observations upon the stages 

 of its development save in the adult. 



Dr. J. W. Dupree, of the city of Baton Rouge, captured April 30, 

 1902, a female which he permitted to feed upon his hand until fully 

 engorged. On the morning of May 1, -to eggs were found, some at 

 the bottom of the glass containing the water, while others were resting 

 upon some fibers of cotton which had accidentally fallen into the vessel. 

 Dr. Dupree thinks it altogether likely that the eggs, which an 4 depos- 

 ited singly, under normal conditions rest upon floating debris. The 

 eggs resemble somewhat in shape those o\' Stegomyia fdsciata^ though 

 larger. Short spines pointing toward the so-called head o( the egg 

 are uniformly distributed over the entire shell. The egg has a flat 

 and a convex surface, and with the latter uppermost presents a dis- 

 tinctly fusiform shape. Unless debris or a strong film tloat^ upon the
