A Monograph of Culicidae.. 
Observations,—A wild species found in ( one spring only by 
Patton., breeding in pools yith A, tihani. The larva is light' 
green with amber coloured head. Frontal hairs are 
simple and unbranched. Palmate hairs are present on 
fourth to sixth abdominal segments. Each blade is 
broad and stumpy with serrated shoulders and the 
filament is a mere spike; the antennae have a small 
spine on the outer side. The feeding brushes are placed 
laterally. It suspends itself like a Culex larva. From 
the head up to the second segment are submerged. It 
is difficult to find as it lies up among green weeds, etc.,, 
and seems to have the capacity of remaining a longer 
time below the surface than the larvae of the other 
four species. 
Patton sent me a very damaged specimen of this 
species ; it seemed to be closely allied to M. turhhudi, but' 
apparently distinct. The costa had five white scaled 
portions, and the third long vein had black spots and 
the wing fringes was dark throughout and showed no 
pale areas seen in turhhudi. 
Patton also points out that the larva has no long branched 
hair at the end of the antennae which is described as being well 
marked in the larva of turhhudi.
