PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. V, July, 1951 
3 sets assoc, skins, 4 kilometers from Isabela 
(Knight). C.C. Luzon: 8 males, 38 females, 
6 larvae, Antamok, Mountain Prov. (Francle- 
mont). 
Literature records, Luzon: Gorge Camp, 
Manila waterworks, Rizal Prov. (Banks, 
1906 : 986 ). 
Unknown outside the Philippines. 
DISCUSSION: This species, which is the sole 
representative of Group E in the Philippines, 
is closely related to pseudotaeniatus (Giles) of 
India. However, pseudotaeniatus is distinct 
from hanksi in having hind tarsal segment V 
all dark. Other minor color variations also 
occur. Male terminalia and larvae are very 
similar. 
Aedes (Finlaya) harperi Knight 
1948. Aedes {Finlaya) harperi Knight, Proc. 
Ent. Soc. Wash. 50: 4 (males, females, pu- 
pae, larvae). Type locality: Philippines. 
Zig-Zag Pass, Subic Bay, Zambales Prov., 
Luzon (Rozeboom and MacMillan). Type: 
Male (holotype) in U. S. N. M.j Termina- 
lia mounted. 
DISTRIBUTION: Specimens examined. U.S.- 
N.M. Type series. Luzon: Zig-Zag Pass, 
Olongapo, and Matain, all in Subic Bay area, 
Zambales Prov. 
Unknown outside the Philippines. 
DISCUSSION: This species, which is the sole 
representative of Group F in the Philippines, 
is closely related to stevensoni (Barraud) of 
India. However, stevensoni differs as follows: 
vertex without a white median area; only the 
first three hind tarsal segments banded (some- 
times a trace of a marking on IV); female 
tergites without complete bands except VIII, 
which is all white; and the basal white-scaled 
area on costa very small. The larva is un- 
known.

Synonymy of pseudonivea Theobald, 1910 
(male only). Pointed out that the female 
of pseudonivea, described by Theobald 
(1905: 75), is a distinct species. 
Adult and larva are described by Barraud 
(1934: 208) and Knight (1946: 278). 
distribution: Specimens examined. U.S.- 
N.M. Luzon: Batangas, Batangas Prov.; 
Subic Bay, Zambales Prov. Samar: Oras. 
Palawan: Puerto Princesa, Irahuan River, and 
Taeburos. Busuanga: 1 larva, Coron (Fitz- 
gerald). A.N.S.P. Leyte: Tacloban (Roberts). 
C.A.S. Mindoro: 3 males, 3 females, San 
Jose (Ross). 
Literature records. Of the Philippine records 
given by Bohart (1945: 58), only that for 
Oras is definitely this species. 
From outside the Philippines there are ap- 
parently reliable literature records from 
South Bengal, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, 
Sumatra, Bali, Java, Flores, Malacca, Borneo, 
and Siam. The records from China and Japan 
are probably not for this species. 
DISCUSSION: This species and the follow- 
ing three are members of the niveus subgroup
