terminalic difference disappears because these 
specimens have a range of only 9-11 bristles 
on each ninth tergite lobe. 
Aedes (Finlaya) rizali (Banks) 
1906. Culex rizali Banks, Phil. Jour. Sci. 1: 
999 (2 females). Type locality: Philippines. 
Volcano Canlaon, Mt. Siya-Siya, at alti- 
tude of 760 m., Negros Occidental Prov., 
Negros Island (Banks). Type: Female 
(holotype), non-existent. 
1922. Aedes {Finlaya) rizali Banks. Edwards, 
Ind. Jour. Med. Res. 10: 466. Different 
combination. 
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type 
series. 
DISCUSSION: The status of this species has 
been discussed by Knight (1947^: 644). As 
stated above, rizali has apparently not been 
retaken since Banks’ type series was collected; 
nor have any additional notes ever been 
published on the types (destroyed during 
World War II). However, it must be very 
closely related to abadsantosi and burgosi, the 
only significant difference apparent from a 
study of the type description being the com- 
plete or nearly complete tergal bands of the 
latter two species (always complete on VIII). 
The extent of the tergal markings is subject 
to so much variation in this group of species 
that it is even possible that this character does 
not offer a valid distinction. Consequently, 
until material is again collected from the type 
locality of rizali its exact status will probably 
remain undetermined. With only the type 
description to go on, this species is also not 
separable from jugraensis. 
. The novotype material designated for 
rizali by Baisas (1946: 21) is cospecific with 
saxicola. 
Aedes (Finlaya) sherki Knight 
1947. Aedes {Finlaya) sherki Knight, Ann. 
Ent. Soc. Amer. 40: 645 (males, females, 
pupae, larvae). Type locality: Philippines. 
Baguio, City of Baguio Prov., Luzon 
(Rozeboom). Type: Male (holotype), with 
associated larval and pupal skins, in the 
U. S. N. M.t 
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type 
series. However, the type series is the result of 
four separate collections (and all by different 
people) so that the species must be well 
established at Baguio. 
DISCUSSION: This species is only definitely 
distinct from the preceding three by the
