Genus Culex. 183 
CuLEX sEcUTOR. Theobald. 
(Mono. Culicid. II., p. 321, 1901.) 
Notes.—Dr. Grabham sends the following notes on this 
species: “C. secutor is an inland species. Specimens have been 
sent to me from Castleton and Cinchona, 5000 feet altitude. 
Great numbers bred in the pools at the foot of the Red Hills, 
near Kingston, in the autumn of 1899, which was very wet and 
the pools abundant ; since then I have not seen any. They differ 
much from all other forms in having a slow and clumsy flight, 
an unmistakable character, and they attack one persistently in 
dense clouds, following one about. They attack during the day.”
