Observations. —D’Emmerey de Charmoy says this is the 
commonest of all the species in Mauritius. It is very numerous 
all over the island, and very troublesome during the night. The 
larvae are to be seen in all artificial collections of water. Patton 
says of this mosquito in the Aden Plinterland that, “this is the 
most common mosquito in the district, and is practically found 
everywhere, breeding in springs, wells and puddles. It was 
found at Jehaf.”

It is thought that this is distinct from Culex fatigans by 
certain collectors in the United States. I can trace no difference 
between it and C. fatigans , taking the American specimens sent 
me as being their so-called pungens, and still consider the two 
the same. If this is so the common brown tropical and sub¬ 
tropical mosquito must be called pungens and not fatigans , as the 
former was described before the latter on the same page.
