A New British Record of Orthopodomyia pulchripalpis, Rondani (Diptera, Culicidæ)

ON March 8 we collected a number of mosquito larvæ from a rain-filled cavity in a local elm tree, and found them to be the second, third and fourth instars of the arboreal mosquito Orthopodomyia pulchripalpis, Rondani. So far as we are aware, this species has never been collected in the adult stage; its eggs have never been obtained; and records of its larvæ are few and far between.
