and Evans, 1926, Ann. Trop. Med. Paras., XX, p. 80, figs. 9-10 (description of a larva probably 
of this species). A.M. Evans, 1927, Liverpool School Trop. Med., Mem., (N. 8.) No. 3, p. 28,

BELGIAN Conao. — Congo River, one of the common anophelines on board 
ship, specimens having been taken near Nouvelle-Anvers, above Bumba, below 
Basoko, at Basoko, and at Barumbu, December 1926 and January 1927. 
A. nili is mainly West African, although it is also known from the Sudan, 
Nyasaland, and Zululand. Miss Evans (1927) does not include the Belgian 
Congo in the distribution, but J. Schwetz (1927) has given several records from 
that territory. 
A. nili does not appear to be domestic in its habits, adults being very rarely 
taken indoors. The larvae, which are not yet known with certainty, are prob- 
ably to be looked for in large swamps. A. nili is a carrier of malaria at Stanley- 
ville, according to J. Schwetz (1929, Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., XXII, 
5, p. 460). 
Anopheles (Myzomyia) marshalli (Theobald) var. moucheti Evans 
Anopheles (Myzomyia) marshalli var. moucheti A. M. Evans, 1925, Ann. Trop. Med. Paras., XIX, 
p. 211, figs. 1-2 (90%; Buta, Belgian Congo); 1927, Liverpool School Trop. Med., Mem., 
(N. 8.) No. 3, p. 38, figs. 8B and 9 ( ¢ @); 1929, Ann. Trop. Med. Paras., XXIII, 3, p. 415, 
figs. 1A, 2B, 2D, 3B, 44-B, 5A, and 6B (larva and pupa). 
BELGIAN Conao. — Congo River, one of the common species on board ship, 
specimens having been obtained at Coquilhatville, downstream from Coquilhat- 
ville, near the confluence of the Lulonga River, and near Nouvelle-Anvers, in 
December 1926. It was observed that this species is active throughout the day, 
biting at all hours. 
This variety appears to be the usual Congo representative of A. marshalli, 
a species widely distributed in the Ethiopian Region and also found in Mada- 
gascar. 
The favorite breeding places appear to be the slowly running or stagnant 
water of pools or backwaters of rivers, where the larvae are often hidden among 
water lettuce, Pistia stratiotes Linnaeus. Ingram and Macfie (1917, Bull. Ent. 
Res., VIII, pp. 75 and 135) have described the larva and pupa of the typical 
form. According to J. Schwetz (1929, Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., XXII, 
5, p. 460), the var. moucheti transmits malaria at Stanleyville.
