10 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
This large and beautifully marked Anopheles is the first of 
this genup to be received from the P. I., and shows the character¬ 
istic habitat of Anopheles in the tropics, coming from the high 
mountain regions of Benguet.” 
The presence of flat scales on the prothoracic lobes is very 
unusual and may possibly mean the exclusion of this species from 
Anopheles. I have been unable to see the species.—P. V. T.

Sudan. Aden Hinterland (?). 
Note .—Captain Patton, I.M.S., says this species does not 
occur in the Aden Hinterland, and that the insect he sent me 
was not this species. I could not detect any difference from 
Wellcomei, but the specimen was badly damaged and set.

Regarding this species Dr. Bancroft says: “ This is a small 
mosquito and extremely uncommon. I bred it out from a mixed 
lot of larvae obtained from a small well or water hole, four feet 
square, made in a gully in the Bupengary scrub, near the railway 
station ; this hole was dug out with a spade until water soaked 
naturally into it; several rare mosquitoes were obtained from 
this water hole. After some months, predaceous insects such as 
Dragon-fly larvae, Yotonecta, Belostoma, etc., make their appear¬ 
ance in such a mosquito well, and if one wishes to encourage 
mosquitoes to breed in it, it is necessary to clean it out 
occasionally. 
I have also bred it out from mixed larvae obtained from the 
Kedron Brook, in the vicinity of Alderley. 
It is not yet known if the female bites.” 
Type in the British Museum.
