PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. VI, April, 1952 
reduced. Abdomen: Stellate hairs present. 
Dorsolateral hairs on I and II double. Lateral 
hair on I single; on II-VI double, occasional- 
ly with 1 or 3 branches. Pentad hair 1 with 
2-3 branches; 2 and 4 single; 3 with 3-4; 5 
with 2-4. Comb with a row of 4-7 strong 
teeth on a sclerotized plate, teeth finely 
fringed at base. Siphon smooth, without acus, 
index 2. 2-3. 2; 5-15 pecten teeth in a straight 
or irregular row, each with 1 or 2 denticles 
and a fine fringe ventrally, sometimes also 
finely fringed dorsobasally; siphon hair tuft 
triple, length less than width of siphon (the 
siphon shown in Fig. 15 is abnormally nar- 
row). Anal plate incomplete, with a small 
patch of spines laterally on the posterior dor- 
sal margin, Ih double, arising from a mem- 
branous area in plate; isc and osc single; ventral 
brush with 8 single stout hairs borne on a 
barred area, barred area may be weakly con- 
nected laterally. Anal gills rather narrow, 
bluntly rounded at tip, subequal, 1.5-1. 8 
times longer than anal plate. 
BIONOMICS: Only three collections of this 
species were made, two adult and one larval. 
The adults were captured in open woods (one 
female was taken attempting to bite humans) 
and the larvae were collected from bamboos. 
DISTRIBUTION: Specimens examined. R.K.L. 
Palawan: 5 males, 12 females, 4 sets assoc, 
skins, 10 larvae, Irahuan River (Johnson, Laf- 
foon); 2 males, 7 females, Bacungan (Laf- 
foon); 1 female, Puerto Princesa (Johnson, 
Laffoon) . 
Previously not reported from other than 
the type series. 
DISCUSSION: The identification of the Pala- 
wan specimens was confirmed by direct com- 
parison with the types. 
According to Barraud (1934: 231), the type 
form, var. submediopunctatus Barraud, and var. 
sureilensis Barraud all differ from perplexus in 
having the fifth hind tarsal segment all dark 
(occasionally some pale scaling at the base 
only, however). 
The varietal status assigned this mosquito 
by Barraud (1934: 231) is utilized here be- 
cause of the lack of information sufficient to 
establish it either as a subspecies or as a full 
species.
