The larvæ are characterised by the fact that although the external frontal
hairs are very distinctly branched (except A. Lindesayii), they are not developed
into the actual cocades which characterise the larvæ of Group II. They are,
in fact, intermediate between the larvæ of Group II and Group IV in which the
frontal hairs are simple and unbranched.
In habits the members of this group are intermediate between the typically
"wild" mosquitoes of Group II, and the typically "domestic" mosquitoes of
Group IV.
They are all occasionally found in houses in small numbers, and excep-
tionally A. Fuliginosus may be found in stables and out-houses in large
numbers.
The breeding places of A. Fuliginosus and A. Jamesii are similar to those
of Group II, except that they appear to prefer shallower, clearer water with
more sunlight.
I. A. Fuliginosus (Giles).
