Life-history. —Patton says the larva is a large one, but does 
not give any measurement. The head is black and 
much ornamented. Thorax dark brown, abdomen 
greenish, fading away to a light brown. Antennae 
have no spine on the outer side. Frontal hairs are 
single and unbranched. Palmate hairs present on the 
third to seventh segments, inclusive with modified hairs 
on the second segment. Blade long and almost black 
with light patches at sides, shoulder on both sides has 
many serrations, the filament is long and pointed. 
Egg.^'5'2 mm. in length and ‘15 mm. There is 
no distinct upper surface (!), no floats and no frill. 
The only resemblance it has to an Anopheline egg is 
that it is boat-shaped. Each egg is covered with a 
thin pellicle, which easily breaks off. The eggs were 
found in a spring near D’thala, when the larvae of Fig> 6 
this mosquito were breeding. They were found on Myzomyia 
green matter and were all in a little heap. Palmate 
If these eggs are correctly placed they differ from h pJtton? r 
all others of this section. 
Observations. — Some damaged specimens were sent me by 
Patton, and from them I could only say that they bore so close 
a resemblance to P. cinereus that I could not separate them.
