Abstract
Orthopodomyia pulchripalpis was first recorded in Britain by MacGregor (1919), who found it, in association with Anopheles plumbeus Steph. and Aëdes geniculatus (Olivier), in a water-filled hole in a beech tree in Bpping Forest. He described it as a new species, 0. albionensis; but later Edwards (1922) showed it to be synonymous with 0. pulchripalpis Rond. Keilin (1927, 1927 a) found larvae of 0. pulchripalpis in a water-filled hole in a horse-chestnut tree in Cambridge, thus establishing a second locality for this mosquito in Britain. Beattie and Howland (1929) recorded it from water-filled holes in beech trees at Burnham Beeches, Buckinghamshire. In each case it was found in association with Anopheles plumbeus and Aëdes geniculatus.Keywords
