A Species of Mosquito (Diptera, Culicidæ) New to Britain

Nature volume 146, page 368 (1940)Cite this article

Abstract

On August 20, when examining a batch of larvæ collected that morning at Portsmouth, I found a third instar larva of the culicine mosquito Theobaldia (Allotheobaldia) longiareolata Macquart, a species which has not hitherto been recorded in Great Britain. A further search next day yielded four more third and two fourth instar larvæ.
