margin; Ih with 2 branches, rarely 1 or 3, 
equal or unequal in length; isc with 2-4, osc 
single; ventral brush of 8 single hairs borne 
on a barred area; barred area not connected 
laterally. Anal gills sausage-shaped, dorsal 
pair 2.5 times as long as anal plate and 1.2 
times as long as ventral pair. 
Indistinguishable from albopictus and scutel- 
laris. 
BIONOMICS: Adults were collected on sever- 
al occasions hovering about humans in the 
woods. Numerous larval collections were 
made, being most commonly found in rock 
pools in drying stream beds. Other collec- 
tions were from coconut husks, coconut 
shells, fallen coconut fronds, rot holes on 
fallen logs, a hollow on a palm trunk, and 
bamboos.

being from one fourth to two fifths the width

is of a different form.
