LIBERIA. — Gbanga, September 9, 1926, one female, caught inside a tent in 
the evening. 
The large, brilliantly colored, often metallic (blue or green) mosquitoes of the 
genus Megarhinus do not suck blood. Both females and males feed on plant 
juices only, especially on the nectar of flowers. The larvae are predaceous, 
feeding upon other mosquito larvae. A large larva of Megarhinus was obtained 
at Camp No. 3, on the Du River, August 8, 1926, in a hollow stump of bamboo, 
together with numerous larvae of Hretmapodites chrysogaster Graham. It was 
observed catching one of these larvae. Although it was kept alive in a breeding 
jar for over a month, it died without pupating, on September 14. 
M. brevipalpis is the most common African species of the genus, being known 
from Sierra Leone to Natal.

BELGIAN Conao. — Above Bumba, on the Congo River, one female, Janu- 
ary 4, 1927. 
According to Mr. Edwards this specimen is not quite typical. The species, 
known from the Sudan, Uganda, and the Gold Coast, was not included in the 
published lists of Congo mosquitoes. Recently, however, it was reported by 
Dr. Duren as having been taken at Leopoldville.
