silvery scales, the fifth vein with a line of silvery scales close to 
the base. 
Length.—2 mm. 
Habitat. —One specimen, Tabogo Island, Panama (A. H. Jen¬ 
nings, collector); bred from larvae from a pool in a small stream. 
In the single specimen the thorax is somewhat denuded, and it 
is possible that there may be a blue spot before the anteseutellar 
space.” 
Type apparently in National Museum, Washington.

Bupengary, Queensland. 
Type in the British Museum. 
Notes. —Dr. Bancroft says: “ This is a beautiful little 
mosquito found resting just above the water-line in casks and 
water-butts, especially when nearly empty. I found them at 
Deception Bay, at Bupengary and Enaggera. It does not bite 
man, but evidently bites birds, for I have taken them gorged 
with avian blood. It is rather rare but present throughout the 
year. It oviposits in a small black raft; the upper ends of the 
eggs are studded with papillae to the naked eye, the raft looks, 
like that of Gulex cylindricus, and also like a small piece of that 
of Culex tigripes, with which mosquitoes this insect is associated. 
The larvae to the naked eye resemble Anopheles and feed on the 
surface on Algae and Diatoms. Examined microscopically they 
are seen to have a respiratory siphon.”
