134 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
MucIDUS ALTERNANS. Westwood. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 269, 1901.) 
Additional locality Brisbane, New South Wales (Froggatt), 
December. 
Notes on the larvae and pupae.—The larvae live in both salt 
and fresh water. 
A series were bred from larvae both found in fresh and 
salt water in February. Some of the specimens are much darker 
than others, the leg banding being almost black in some. It 
is evidently a common Queensland insect, especially along the 
littoral.

Genus 16. DESVOIDEA. Blanchard. 
ArMIGERES. Theobald, 1901. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 322, 1901, Armigeres.) 
The name I gave this genus had been previously used. 
Blanchard then proposed the one given above. 
The larvae and pupae have been sent me by Dr. Durham, 
and are here described. A single new species is also added. 
The Larva and Pupa of Desvoidea. 
The larvae (Plate XVII.) are called “ flap-tails” by Dr. 
Durham. They are deep grey to bright reddish-brown in hue, 
with bright brown head with darker markings, especially a black 
line at the back of the head, and simple tubular antennae, 
abruptly truncated with a small blunt terminal joint and a lateral 
spine ; the thorax is broader than the head and has four lateral 
tufts of black hairs, in two pairs, the larger uppermost and arising 
from a brown conical papilla, the lower smaller one arising direct 
from the skin over the first big lateral tuft, a smaller tuft on each 
side, and a few in front of the first lateral branch ; the first two 
abdominal segments have branched lateral tufts, the next three 
a pair of black lateral bristles, the third to fifth a pair of dorsal
