Aedes (Finlaya) quasirubrithorax 
(Theobald) 1918 
This pupa is undescribed, but Hill (1925: 
72) included figures of the paddles and trumpet 
of specimens from Townsville, Australia. They 
show similarities to those of A. keefei, but are 
not included here since there is some doubt as 
to the correctness of Hill’s identification.
