Genus Myzomyia. 5] 
Dr. Grabham has bred this species from larvae collected in 
some of the large reservoirs above Santa Cruz, which are rarely 
without water. The adult insects were not met with in houses. 
They bite and suck blood. The Teneriffe specimens are some- 
what darker than the Spanish ones, but the wing ornamentation 
is practically the same. 
Myzomyia Lurziu. Theobald. 
Anopheles Lutzit. Theobald. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., 1901, p. 177.) 
Notes.—This species was wrongly recorded by Dr. Durham 
in his “ Report of the Yellow Fever Expedition to Para, 1900,” 
p. 50. The species was Stethomyia nimba, from the description 
he gives of it. His coliection contained the latter species as 
well as Lutzii and argyrotarsis. 
Dr. Low sends the following notes re this species: “ We 
arrived at Coriabo half an hour before dusk. As we were 
sitting at dinner in the verandah of a hut large numbers of 
this species appeared, and bit with great readiness. They were 
first seen just as 1t got dark, and they disappeared again about 
two hours afterwards; their attitude when at rest was almost 
at a right angle with the surface on which they settled—the 
so-called typical Anopheles position. Two policeman (black) who 
resided there suffered much from malarial fever, but whether 
this or some other Anopheles was responsible I do not know. 
Albipes and argyrotarsis were not seen there.” 
Additional localities—Para, Brazil (Dr. Durham); British 
Guiana (at Coriabo, Barima River) (Dr. Low). 
Myzomyta (?) ELEGANS. (n. sp., James). 
Possibly a variety of leucophyrus. The following is Captain 
James’s MS. description :— 
A dark mosquito the wing veins of which are thickly clothed with 
rather broad spindle-shaped black and white scales, which form numerous 
small spots on the wing field, so that the wing has a beaded or mottled 
appearance. Legs thickly mottled with black and white scales. Palpi 
with four white bands. Abdomen with long golden hairs but no scales. 
Thorax with creamy scales and hairs. :
