[380] [This is not always the case, vide previous note.—F. V. T.]

[381] [This is only so in Anophelina and in the genus Theobaldinella, Neveu-Lemaire, Grabhamia, Theobald, Acartomyia, Theobald, etc. In true Culex and many other genera the male palpi are pointed.—F. V. T.]

[382] [This is certainly not always the case.—F. V. T.]

[384] Both males and females may be kept alive in captivity for a long time if given fruits, or even only sugar and water.

[385] The act of copulation in many species is now known. The female Culex has three receptaculæ seminalis, while the female Anopheles has one receptaculum seminis.

[386] It is certain that the females perish immediately after depositing the ova; but this does not always hold good, as a part of them survive for a few days. The males die soon after copulation.

[388] Information sent me by Dr. Grabham shows this statement to be not quite correct, as the frontal hairs may vary in different stages of the same larva. This he has shown in Cellia albipes, Theob., and I have noticed it in a Nyssorhynchus from Africa.

[389] Heart-shaped scales occur on the wings of Etiorleptiomyia.
