Extract

A description is given of the detection of an active breeding place of A. mauritianus in the Kurdani River, near Acre. This species was first reported by Barraud in 1920 as breeding in the swamps of the Kishon and Auja. Since that time neither Buxton nor the other workers in Palestine have been able to find this species. It is conceivable that the reason for the failure is due to the fact that the larvae closely resemble those of A. hyrcanus and that like it, the adult is a swamp feeder and not a house visitor.
