Extract

Notes are recorded on some of the habits of members of the subgenus Coquillettidia of the genus Taeniorhynchus, with an account of catching and rearing methods employed. Fourth-stage larvae of eight different species have been caught and successfully reared to the adult stage, four of these for the first time. One new species is included in the list.

Keys are given for larvae and pupae, together with full descriptions of the larvae and pupae of the eight species dealt with.

Errors in the previous descriptions of T. aurites and microannulatus are pointed out.
