constantly . oiling the. water,' which destroyed the larvae when 
they hatched. The bite of this mosquito is most irritating, a 
large lump being raised in a short time' where the mosquito 
inserted its proboscis. The male of this species accompanies the 
female and will alight on one’s body but never bites. This 
mosquito is troublesome in the morning and at mid-day. 
The larva is described by Patton as follows :—Head small 
and black with long curved antennae. The syphon tube is short. 
The egg is the same as that of 8. 
fasciata, described by Daniels. 
The larvae are exceedingly active and 
are able to remain a long time below the 
surface. It was never found by Patton 
breeding in running water. 
The male genitalia .—Patton gives a 
rough sketch of the male genitalia re¬ 
produced here and describes them as 
follows :— 
“ Male genitalia are exceedingly 
characteristic and as far as I know have 
not been described. 
“ The basal segment is long and 
covered with dark hairs, on its inner 
surface there -is a knob-like projection 
covered with minute hairs. 
“ The apical segment is thin and 
terminates in a flattened boss. From its outer and upper end 
there projects a long curved hair-like process, which has a blunt 
termination.”
