124 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
ToXORHYNCHITES SPECcIOSsUS. Skuse. 
Megarhinus speciosus. Skuse. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 228, 1901.) 
This is a Toworhynchites and not a true Megarhinus. Specimens 
recently received from Dr. Bancroft in fresh condition. show the 
? palpi to be short. 
The larva has been found by Dr. Bancroft in a fresh-water 
butt at a house; when alive it is red in colour. 
TOXORHYNCHITES RUTILUS. Coquillett. 
Megarhinus rutilus. Coquillett. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 244, 1901.) 
Dr. Coquillett has written me since the issue of the 
monograph as follows: “ At the time of describing the species I 
supposed that the palpi of the 9 were broken, as at that 
time no form with short palpi was known. The species is 
evidently a Toxorhynchites, as you surmised it might be.” * 

Sup-FamMiILy CULICINA. 
Genus 31. JANTHINOSOMA. Arribalzaga. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 253, 1901.) 
No new notes need be added to the characters of this genus. 
A single new species has been found since the publication of the 
first volume. ‘The larva and pupa have been discovered, however, 
and an account is here reproduced. 
LIFE-HISTORY OF Janthinosoma musica. 
_In a paper by H. A. Morgan fa short account is given of 
the life-history of this mosquito, the notes being made by Dr. 
Duprée. 
* Since in final proof Dr. Coquillett writes me this is a true Megarhinus.
