Aedes of the Philippines — Knight and Hull 
243 
pecten teeth in an even row, none beyond 
siphon tuft, each tooth with 1 or 2 ventral 
denticles; siphon hair tuft with 3-5 branches. 
Anal plate broadly incomplete, with a row of 
short spines on posterior margin; Ih single, 
stout; Ac with 3-6 branches, ore single; ventral 
brush of 12 tufts, each tuft with 2-6 branches, 
sometimes one tuft off the barred area 
basally; barred area joined laterally by a 
sclerotized line. Anal gills long, tapering, 
subequal, about 3.0 times longer than anal 
plate. 
DISTRIBUTION: Specimens examined. R.K.L. 
Balabac Island: 2 larvae. Cape Melville 
(Johnson). 
Outside of the Philippines this species is 
known only from Malaya. 
DISCUSSION: Since the male terminalia of 
jugraensis has not been described, it is im- 
possible to discuss its exact relationship with 
the closely related group of four species just 
preceding {ahadsantosi, burgosi, rizali, and 
sherki ) . However, there is no question but that 
it is closely related to this group. 
Aedes (Finlaya) spp., near abadsantosi 
In the British Museum collection there is 
a female specimen from the Philippines that 
possibly represents an unknown species. It 
closely resembles abadsantosi except that the 
anterior portion of the postspiracular scale 
patch consists of narrow yellowish scales and 
does not extend to the ventral margin of the 
spiracle. All of the abdominal tergites are 
dorsally dark except for a complete basal 
band on VIII. The specimen has the follow- 
ing data: Mt. Mupo, Dansalan, Mindanao, 
28-III-1920 (Dr. A. Moore). 
In the collection of the Academy of 
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, there is a 
female specimen, Lagolago, Leyte (H. R. 
Roberts), with the postspiracular scales simi- 
lar to those of the above specimen but 
differing in having the tergites with com- 
plete basal bands. 
Also, in the U. S. National Museum there is 
a male specimen, with associated larval and 
pupal skins, which cannot be separated from 
abadsantosi except on male terminalia. The 
claspette filament is slender and tubular in- 
stead of being laterally flattened (this is 
utterly unlike anything known in this group) , 
and there are 11-13 hairs on each of the ninth 
tergite lobes. The data for this specimen are: 
San Ramon, Mindanao (Knight and Laffoon), 
reared from rock hole in hill stream, 17- 
IX-1945.

ADULT : Characterized by the pattern . of 
narrow sharply defined yellow lines on the 
scutum, by the median pale-scaled longi- 
tudinal line along the anterior surface of the 
mid femora, and by the hind tarsi having 
basal and apical bands on segments I-IV and 
with V all white dorsally. 
Male. Wing length about 2.8 mm. Head: 
Proboscis dark. Palpus slightly shorter than 
the proboscis; dark, basal half of V white- 
scaled dorsally; a number of hairs apically on 
III and laterally along IV-V. Vertex dorsum 
with a median longitudinal stripe of narrow 
pale scales (some also present on the nape), 
remainder broad-scaled, the dorsal portion 
being dark-scaled and marked with a longi- 
tudinal white band medially, a line of pale 
scales along the ocular margin; the lateral 
surface of vertex with broad pale scales; dark 
upright-forked scales scattered over the dor- 
sum. Thorax: Scutum covered with narrow 
dark scales, marked with sharply defined thin 
longitudinal lines of narrow yellowish scales 
as follows: A median line that forks at the
