Aedes of the Philippines — Knight AND Hull 
169 
siphon hair tuft with 3 branches. Anal plate 
smooth, incomplete; Ih single or double; isc 
with 2-3 branches, osc single; ventral brush of 
10 tufts, each of which is forked near the 
base, all borne on a barred area; barred area 
may be partially connected laterally. Anal 
gills rounded at tips, subequal, approximately 
3 times longer than anal plate. 
bionomics: In the Pacific portion of its 
range this mosquito apparently always occurs 
near habitations, the larvae almost always 
being found in artificial containers and the 
adults entering houses to bite humans. Bo- 
hart and Ingram (1946: 6) have presented an 
excellent review of the biology and disease 
relationships of this species m the Pacific 
areas.

zones of the world. 
DISCUSSION: The type of alhoannulis is in 
fragments, and is so oiled as nearly to be 
unrecognizable.
