to the Transvaal, and northwestward in Portuguese West Africa to Caconda. 
Three of the species of equatorial Africa, of which ruandensis is one, are found 
solely on high mountains and other elevated areas. The species are flightless 
and apparently of relatively localized distribution.

SUBFAMILY PHLEBOTOMINAE 
Phlebotomus sp. 
BELGIAN Conao. — Kamaniola, one female biting man inside a mosquito-bar 
at night, February 2, 1927. 
The species cannot now be determined; but the record is of interest as show- 
ing that these biting midges exist in the valley of the Ruzizi River, between Lake 
Tanganyika and Lake Kivu. Thus far Phlebotomus has been but little investi- 
gated in the Belgian Congo. Practically all that is known has been reviewed 
in a recent paper by Adler, Theodor and Parrot.1. These authors have described 
three new species: Phlebotomus collarti, from Stanleyville; P. schoutedeni, from 
Stanleyville and Barumbu; and P. schwetzi, from Stanleyville, Likimi, Barumbu, 
and Kinshasa. They have also recorded P. ingrami Newstead, from Elisabeth- 
ville; P. africanus Newstead, from Stanleyville and Likimi; and P. simillimus 
Newstead, from Stanleyville, Bosanga, Mundjunga, Mimbo, and Barumbu. 
An additional new species, P. ghesqwerei, has been described by Parrot (1929, 
Rev. Zool. Bot. Afric., XVIII, 1, p. 90), from Boma. 
CULICIDAE 
The mosquitoes collected by the Expedition were identified by Mr. F. W. 
Edwards, of the British Museum (Natural History), who has recently published 
the description of the only new species obtained. 
The collecting of adult mosquitoes in houses and in the bush was supple- 
mented by the breeding of larvae, wherever an opportunity was available. It 
may be useful to present a brief account of what is known at present of the mos- 
quito fauna of Liberia and the Belgian Congo. 
THe MosqQuiTorEs oF LIBERIA 
The mosquitoes of Liberia have hardly been studied thus far. In her recent 
monograph of the African anopheline mosquitoes, Miss A. M. Evans (1927) 
gives no Liberian records for any of the species. Ziemann (1902), however, has 
mentioned the occurrence of A. gambiae Giles at Monrovia. I have collected both 
that species and A. funestus Giles. Although these are the two most important
