PACIFIC SCIENCE, VoL III, January, 1949 
The pupa of the single species recorded from 
New Guinea is unknown. 
Subgenus Aedes Meigen 
Heretofore only one species of the subgenus 
Aedes has been partially described, and since 
we collected pupae of only one additional 
species in New Guinea the following notes 
must be taken with reservations as a subgeneric 
diagnosis. 
Diagnosis. — Setae H and k close together, 
well separated from L and M. At least B-IV and 
V long, reaching posterior margins of follow- 
ing segments, usually two- or more branched; 
seta C-II a medium-length multibranched tuft 
which is often dendritic. 
Aedes (Aedes) funereus (Theobald) 1903 
Pupa undescribed, but Hill (1925: 73) in- 
cluded figures of the paddles and trumpet. Since 
no differences between these figures and speci- 
mens of A. lineatus were noted, the figures are 
not included here.

Cephalothorax. — Postocular : 1 medium, 
two-forked, rarely three-forked; 2 medium, sim- 
ple or rarely two-forked; 3 medium, two-forked 
near middle or rarely three-forked. 
Anterothoracic: 4 medium, two- or three-forked; 
5 medium, two- to six-forked; 6 small, simple; 
7 medium, two- to four-forked.

of the trumpet, three- to five-forked, rarely six- 
or eight-forked.

rarely simple. 
Metanotum: 10 medium, usually four-forked, 
range from three- to seven-forked; 11 long, 
longest seta on cephalothorax, simple; 12 me- 
dium, two- to six-forked. 
Trumpet: Short, funnel-shaped, length ranging 
from about two to three times greatest diameter 
of meatus; pinna short; all darkly pigmented, 
but tracheoid area darkest. 
Abdomen. — Segment 1: H medium, stout, 
simple spine; K medium, two- or three-forked

sionally three- or four-forked; M small, two- to 
five-forked; S long, simple or occasionally two- 
forked; T medium, two- to four-forked near 
middle, rarely five-forked; u small, simple. 
Segment II: A small, simple spine; B long, sim- 
ple; C medium, ten- to fifteen-branched tuft; 
c' small, simple on this and all following seg-

middle; 2 long, simple or rarely two-forked; 3 
medium, two- to four-branched, each branch 
being two-forked near its middle; 4 small, two- 
or four-forked near base; 5 minute, simple on 
this and all following segments. 
Segment III: A small, simple spine; B long, sim- 
ple; C medium, three- to eight-branched; 1 me- 
dium, two- or three-forked, occasionally four- 
or five-forked; 2 small, simple; 3 represented 
only by its socket; 4 medium, three- or four- 
forked. 
Segment IV: A small, simple spine; B long, two- 
branched or rarely three-branched; C medium, 
three- to six-branched; 1 medium, three- or 
four-forked near middle, rarely simple; 2 small, 
two-forked near apex or simple; 3 represented 
only by its socket; 4 medium, two- to six-forked 
near middle. 
Segment V: A small, simple spine; B long, two- 
branched or occasionally two-forked; C medium, 
three- or four-branched; 1 medium, two- or 
three-forked near middle, rarely simple; 2 me- 
dium, two- to five-forked near base; 3 repre- 
sented only by its socket; 4 medium, two- or 
three-forked near apex. 
Segment VI: A small, simple spine; B long, sim- 
ple or two-branched; C medium, three- or four- 
branched; 1 medium, simple; 2 medium, two- 
to five-forked near basal one-third; 3 absent; 4 
medium, two-forked near basal one-third or 
simple, rarely three-forked. 
Segment VII: A medium, two-branched or rarely 
simple; B medium, two-branched or rarely sim- 
ple; C medium, two- to four-branched; 1 small,
