Abstract

Culex erraticus is added to the 52 currently recognized mosquito species from California. Four females and one male were collected in a CO2 trap on August 29, 1994, at the Imperial Wildlife Refuge, Wister Unit, Imperial County, CA. Additional specimens were collected on October 24, and larval habitats were located on October 31, 1994. Possible routes of introduction are discussed.
