opportunity of seeing male terminalia from 
the Cotabato series showed all the Mindanao 
specimens to be saperoi, differing from the 
previously known specimens in having the 
apical dark area of the hind femur broadly 
complete on the anterior aspect. 
A re-examination of the larval specimen 
(Fig. 13) from Culion Island, tentatively 
named as albolateralis (Theobald) by Knight 
(1946:279), has shown it to be equally similar 
to saperoi. Because of this finding, albolateralis 
PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. V, July, 1951 
has been dropped from the Philippine species 
list. However, the Culion specimen is in- 
cluded in the larval key under the name 
albolateralis to call attention to the possibility 
that this species may still be found to occur 
in the Philippines. 
This species is very similar to laoagensis. 
Aedes (Finlaya) laoagensis Knight 
1946. Aedes {Finlaya) laoagensis Knight, Jour. 
Wash. Acad. Sci. 36: 276 (males, female, 
larva). Type locality: Philippines. Laoag, 
Ilocos Norte Prov., Luzon (Hoogstraal). 
Type: Male (holotype) in U. S. N. M.f 
Terminalia mounted. 
DISTRIBUTION: Specimens examined. U.S.- 
N.M. Luzon: Laoag, Ilocos Norte Prov.; 
Baguio, City of Baguio Prov.; Subic Bay, 
Zambales Prov.; San Fernando; Rizal Prov.; 
Laguna Prov.; Tayabas Prov. 
Unknown outside the Philippines. 
DISCUSSION: Distinguishable from the other 
species of the niveus subgroup in the Philip- 
pines on the divergence of the scutal white- 
scaled area from the lateral margin over the 
paratergite in the female. Although the 
terminalic characters differ slightly, the male 
does not differ externally from saperoi. The 
larva is not distinguishable with certainty 
from that of saperoi except possibly on the 
number of branches of the antennal bair 
tuft and on the spiculation of the posterior 
margin of the anal plate.
