Additional localities. —Johnstone River, N, Queensland (Ban¬ 
croft) ; Port Darwin, one 5 (F. Dodd per Dr. Bancroft). 
Notes. —Dr. Bancroft gives the following notes on this 
species :—r This is the 4 Scotch Drey/ common throughout the 
year all over Queensland, but especially along the coast and 
extending into New South Wales, where.it is sometimes called, 
the 6 Hexham Drey.’ It is a vicious biter; does not live in 
confinement. It oviposits singly, the eggs are large, oval, black 
in colour, pitted and float on their side. The larvae -are to be 
found plentifully in salt water swamps, especially in stagnant' 
pools of water left by the high spring tides; when there is no 
salt water available the mosquito will oviposit in fresh water 
the larvae devour other larvae, but not to a great extent. 55 
I have examined five specimens in the National Museum,. 
Budapest, from New Guinea which are undoubtedly this species.
