Genus HHowardina. I89 
Time of captuwre.—May. 
Observations.—A single damaged specimen was placed under 
the name Culex fasciatus in the old collection at the Museum, and 
is recorded in Vol. I., p. 424. 
Dr. Grabham recently sent me a perfect ? from Jamaica, 
which shows it to belong here and not to the Culicina. It is 
evidently rare—a single female only having been found by Dr. 
Grabham. :
