Abstract
ON June 10 of this year, in a rot-hole in a tree at Epe in Southern Nigeria, I secured a young specimen of the predaceous larva of the mosquito Megarhinus (Toxorhynchites) brevipalpis, Theo. With the intention of bringing the insect alive to England, it was retained in two or three ounces of its natural water and given a very restricted diet in the form of an occasional Stegomyia larva.
