Abstract

In the autumn of 1931 I received for determination from Dr. R. B. Jackson a small number of Culicine larvae collected in Hong Kong. These included two specimens of a Uranotaenia with very remarkable antennae, which seem well worth describing as a further example of the striking and unexpected deviations of structure which occur in various members of this genus. As the specimens sent were whole larvae and not skins, the identity of the species is somewhat uncertain, but an adult of U. testacea, Theo., was obtained by Dr. Jackson at the same time as the larvae, and it is most probable that the larvae belong to that species. Incidentally, U. testacea has not been recorded from Hong Kong before.
