Additional localities. —Malaga, Spain (per H. J. Ainsworth); 
D’thala, Jehab, Hardebar and ISTobat (Patton) (?) (F. Y. T.) ; 
Philippine Islands (Schiner).* 
Observations. —Patton says it occurs in all the wells and 
springs at D’thala and is found at the highest point, 7000 odd 
feet, breeding in pools of rain water that collected in holes in 
rocks. It is very unlikely that this is the true pipiens , which 
is purely a domestic gnat.
