Notes. —Specimens of this common culicine have been sent me 
from S. Portugal and thus we may assume that it is Meigen’s 
calopus. The name should not be changed however as Fabricius’ 
name fasciatus (1805) antedates it. Villiers described a mosquito 
(1789) as Gulex fasciatus , there is no type and the description is 
too vague to decipher, and the species had best be abolished 
like a lot of others that cannot be definitely identified, and 
retain the name by which his supposed common gnat is best 
known. D’Emmerez de Charmoy says this insect is very common 
near the sea-shore at Port Louis, but rather scarce in the high 
parts of the Island of Mauritius. 
Stegomyia fasciata persistans. Banks (1906). 
Philip. Journ. Sci. I., 9, 996 (1908). 
This can only be one of the many varieties of S. fasciata. 
Banks says of the thorax “ a broad, silver-white band on 
each side, curving outwards, then inward at middle of thorax 
and extending back to hinder margin as in S. fasciata, Fabr. 
External and parallel to this is a bare or scaleless linear area ; 
between the lyre-shaped figure thus formed, a very short, median 
golden-white line from anterior margin of mesothorax, then two 
parallel, sub-median lines, extending two-thirds of distance to 
posterior margin, then a short median extending brown, bare 
spot, then two parallel sub-median short lines at sides of bare 
spot, extending to posterior margin ; a broken line of white in
