Extract

Orthopodomyia arboricollis was described under the name of Culex arboricollis by d'Emmerez de Charmoy, from adults reared by him from larvae that were found by Sir Ronald Ross, K.C.B., F.R.S., in a tree-hole at Vacoas. Mr. d'Emmerez tells us that these adults were the only ones he has seen in his long experience in Mauritius, and the species so far is recorded from this island only. Mr. F. W. Edwards, after examination of the types in the collections at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, has recently correctly assigned the insect to the genus Orthopodomyia.

* Note.—These variable characters are not in any way correlated with the age of the fourth instarlarva. Pupation may take place with the complete absence of any plate formation (except basal chitinisation of the combs) or with the plates present at any stage of formation up to the stage when all four plates are present and heavily chitinised.
