Liperta. — Lenga Town, August 1926. 
BrELGian Coneao. — Kinshasa (bred by Dr. Duren). 
The larva and pupa of the var. fuscus have been described by W. Wesché 
(1910, Bull. Ent. Res., I, p. 36, Pl. III, figs. 12-16). The larvae are predaceous 
and feed upon those of the same or of other species of mosquitoes. At Lenga 
Town they were found in a hole of a fallen tree in a forest clearing, together 
with those of Culex decens and C. pruina. One of the larvae was seen attacking a 
Culex larva. The carnivorous habits were first observed by W. M. Graham at 
Lagos. 
L. tigripes is distributed throughout the Ethiopian Region. It is a semi- 
domestic mosquito often found breeding in vessels containing clean or foul water 
in or near human habitations. The adults, however, rarely enter houses and 
are not aggressive.
