RIBEIRO, H. & RAMOS, H. Cunha -- <strong>Research</strong> on the mosquitoes of Angola X a relatively rare mosquito, C. insignis is probably widely distributed also in Angola. The adults in collection were caught at rest inside the tents of our camp. C. insignis was never seen landing on man, which is in accordance with its known zoophily. 7.3.4--Culex (Eumelanomyia) kingianus Edwards, 1922 New record for Angola. MATERIAL EXAMINED. DALA TANDO, 2 larvae, 23.VIII. 1969; HUAMBO, 3, 12 larvae 14.IV.1970 and 23.VII-1.VIII. 1966. TAXONOMIC NOTES. Our male agrees with the descriptions of kingianus given by Edwards (8) and by Mattingly & Lips (42). The larva tentatively attributed by Hopkins (24) to this species and described by him (pp. 255-6) seems not to be, in fact, that of kingianus. Anyhow, our larvae are in good accordance with the de- scription given by Mattingly (42). In particular, it is to be noted that all comb teeth on abdominal segment VIII are clearly scales and not spines. DISTRIBUTION AND BIOECOLOGICAL NOTES. Map 5 shows the only two Angolan localities recorded for C. kingJanus. Our male was reared from larva. All three larval biotopes recorded for kingianus consisted in ground water. Two of them were small pools at river margins with aquatic vegetation and moderately high organic matter content. In the other instance, larvae bred in the shallow margins of a small river with emergent and submerged aquatic vegetation. The pH of the breeding water, measured in two of the breeding places, was 5.6 and 6.4. As to the associated species in the larval biotopes of kingianus, C. duttoni and C. tigripes were recorded from two of these. An. demeilloni, C. cinerellus, C. inconspicuosus, C. p. pipiens, C. p. quinquefasciatus, C. toroensis, C. wigglesworthi and U. mashonaensis were also recorded as associated larvae in one instance.

RIBEIRO, H. & RAMOS, H. Cunha -- <strong>Research</strong> on the mosquitoes of Angola X C. kingianus seems to be also a relatively uncommon zoophilic mosquito (35). 7.3.5--Culex (Eumelanomyia) quirtterri Brunhes, Adam & Bailly- Choumara, 1967 C. quintetti (male) was described by Brunhes e! al. (14) from Man, Ivory Coast, and recorded in the same paper also from Dundo, Northeastern Angola (Map 6), on the basis of specimens submitted by E. Abonnenc (op. cit., p. 49). Dr. A. de Barros Machado kindly informs us that Dundo specimens were almost certainly caught by means of one of his New Jersey lighttraps installed in the gallery forest of the Luachimo River, the specimens being sent to E. Abonrenc included in sandfly catcites. No specimens of C. quirtterri were caught by the present writers. 7.3.6--Culex (Eumelanomyia) rima Theobald, 1901 The only known Angolan record of C. rima is that of Gamble (7), in 1914, from S. Salvador (Map 5). No rima specimens were caught by the writers. 7.3.7--Culex (Eumelanomyia) rubinotus Theobald, 1906 C. rubinotus was previously recorded only from Cuchi by Grin- dara (10) (!1), in 1956. MATERIAL EXAMINED. CABINDA, 1 9, 23.VIII. 1970; LUANDO RIVER, 29 9, 16.VI.1970. TAX!ONOMIC NOTES. All the 29 females caught at Luando River agree satisfactorily with the known descriptions by Theobald (6) and by Edwards (8). The Cabinda female, however, is here only tentatively attributed to rubinotus as it shows some non-negligible differences which cannot be properly evaluated in the absence of males from the same area. In any case, it will be readily keyed out with rubinotus if the above proposed key is used (see under 6). 60 Estud., Ens. e Doc. 134
