A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Walked but I feel sure it is distinct from the description of the 
male. Elera records it from the Philippines and gives it as 
distinct. Banks makes no further reference to it in his paper 
of 1906. 
It may be a Toxorhynchites. No female is known.

I have been unable to obtain the description of the following 
species:— 
Toxorhynchites couradti. Griinberg (1907). 
D. Ent. Zs. 405 (1907). 
Genus WORCESTERIA. Banks (1906). 
Philippine Journal of Science, I., 7, p. 779 (1906). 
This genus was separated by Banks from Toxorhynchites, 
Theobald, owing to the fact that the female palpi are 5-jointed, 
not 3-jointed. The two apical segments are very minute, and 
cannot be detected except by a microscopic preparation. The 
male palpi are long and acuminate and composed of four 
segments, but the basal one is incomplete as in Culex. 
In view of the fact that other Toxorhynchites show 1 to 3 
minute terminal segments, this genus will not stand and must 
sink as a synonym of Toxorhynchites.
