Rh species. I have only seen the types presented to the Museum. (Col. Giles.)

Habitat. Jhansi and Gonda, N.W.P.

'Syst. Antl.,' 36, 13 (1805), Fab. ; 'Mono. Culicid.,'1, p. 289 (1901).

This common household species has been recorded from Quilon, Calcutta, Madras.

It does not seem to be so abundant in India as in other parts of the world. This is the species which is connected with yellow fever. It is known under at least fifteen different names, the commonest being Culex tcenititus, Wiedemann.

An abundant Asiatic species, occurring in India at Madras, Naini Tal, Sambalpur (C.P.) ; Calcutta, &c. It is the same as Skuse's Cukx albopidus, recorded from Calcutta, where it is a great nuisance.

' The Entomologist,' p. 192 (1901), Giles; ' Mono. Culicid.,' 1, p. 312 (1901), Theobald.

I have only seen a single specimen of this marked Steyomyia, and have no further notes to add.

It occurred at Naini Tal (7,000 feet), Bakloh, Punjaub (6,000-8,000 feet).

A single specimen only has so far been taken by Colonel Giles in Government House, Allahabad. The marked thoracic ornamentation mentioned in the table makes its identification an easy matter. Evidently a rare species.

Separated from Stegomyia by the long, thin, hairless <$ palpi and peculiar larva.
