in the Nilgiris, and also appears in the plains in the cooler 
seasons of the year.” 
Miss D. M. A. Bate informs me ‘that the larvae seen in 
Cyprus are semi-transparent green all over; they are extremely 
lively when disturbed, and seem to spend most of their time 
amongst the green weed, apparently not requiring to come to 
the surface so muchas Theobaldia spathipalpis.” 
The larvae sent me have long thin respiratory siphons 
(Fig. 85).

A single fresh specimen of this species has been received from 
Ceylon. It is smaller than those received from Japan, and the 
thoracic golden-scaled lines are more pronounced. 
The abdomen has prominent silvery-white basal bands. 
There is a trace of a pale band on the proboscis ; the hind 
femora, instead of being all basally white, has a large long 
ventral white patch. 
The 9 ungues of both the Japanese and Ceylon specimens 
are uniserrated. 
The specimen from Ceylon was taken by Mr. E. Green in 
October at Peradeniya. It forms a distinct local variety.

Additional localities.—Welldad, British Guiana (Dr. Low, 
July, 1901); Chancery Lane Swamp, Barbados. (Dr. Low, 
September and October, 1901; bred from larvae); Vieux Fort, 
St. Lucia (Dr. Low) ; Antigua (Dr. Forrest) ; Cedros (common), 
Trinidad, caught in house (C. H. Hewlett); Para, Brazil 
(Dr. Durham). 
Notes.—Mc. Forrest writes on July 31st, 1901 :—“ Culex XT. 
comes into the house in the evening like MW. titillans. Although 
both are very common, I have not come across the larvae 
as yet.” 
Dr. Low took his British Guiana specimens in jungle growth 
under a mango tree near the coast,
