1 As previously mentioned, some adults of Anopheles maculipennis ♀ infested with larval mites (unidentified) were collected at Hayling Island in 1924. An examination of some microscope slides prepared at that time has disclosed, in the abdomen of one of the said specimens, a “tube” of obviously similar nature.
