The mosquito which is instrumental in dis
seminating yellow fever is to be known here
after as "stegomyia calopus." instead of "stego-
myia fasciata." Inasmuch Us the change is
hardly sufficient to conceal the identity of the
mischief maker. 1t is safe to assume that 1t was
not proposed by the insect itself in order TO
escape the odlum which justly attaches to its
shameful record. Further evidence that such a
supposition would be erroneous is furnished by
formal announcement in the Public Health

ton has been adopted by entomologsts in &C
