Extract

The material which forms the subject of this communication was derived from Dr W. A. Lamborn's collection, and was placed at my disposal through the kindness of Dr Guy A. K. Marshall, Director of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, London. It comprised eight larvae of Stegomyia scutellaris Walker, which had been preserved in formaldehyde solution (10 per cent.), and the specimens were mounted individually on microscope slides in the same medium.
