connected with it. It is a wild species and does not come to 
human 'habitations. Negative results were obtained with it in

Observations. —Patton sent me a much damaged specimen of 
this insect. It is clearly distinct, but closely related to 
Nyssorhynchus theobaldi, the last two hind tarsals only are white 
in the latter, not 2^-2 J, as in Patton’s species, and the larval 
characters also differ. I do not know where the type is, Patton 
making no reference to it and giving no measurements.

apex of the first.
