Extract

The mosquito fauna of Egypt appears to have received very little attention hitherto, and very few species have been recorded from this country up to the present.

The following list of species is based chiefly on the collection of the Ministry of Agriculture, and is supplemented by references to species recorded by other observers but not taken by us. The synonymy used is that proposed by Mr. F. W. Edwards in his papers:—“ The African Species of Culex and allied Genera ” (Bull. Ent. Res., ii, p. 241, 1911); “ Further Notes on African Culicidae ” (Bull. Ent. Res., iv, p. 47, 1913); “ Key for determining the African Species of Anopheles ” (Bull. Ent. Res., iii, p. 241, 1912), excepting where the contrary is stated.
