Original Description of Culex n. sp.: 



Female. Dark brown or black, the occiput covered with white and brown to- 

 mentum. Palpi black, at the tip silvery. Proboscis black, with a white ring beyond 

 the middle. Antennae black. Dorsum of thorax covered with brown and white 

 tomentum, the white toward either side posteriorly, and forming two slender lines, 

 abbreviated anteriorly. Pleurag with white tomentum. Abdomen deep b'rown, with 

 six conspicuous rings of white tomentum on the anterior part of the segments, the 

 ground-color under them yellow; on the second segment a white tomentose spot in 

 front. Legs nearly black, the base of all the femora yellowish. On the outer side of 

 the femora, in large part, and along the whole inner side of the legs, as also moder- 

 ately broad rings at the articulations of all the tarsal joints, white. Wings nearly 

 hyaline; tomentum blackish, distributed nearly evenly on the veins. Length, 6 mm. 



One specimen, Argus Mountains, Calif., April. This species is closely allied to C. 

 annulatus Meigen, which occurs in the western regions and in Mexico, but seems to 

 differ in the uniformly distributed tomentum of the wings. 



Original Description of Culex tarsalis : 



J'. Head black, its pile and tomentum mixed brown and white; antennae brown, 

 apices of joints one to eleven broadly white, the hairs gray; proboscis nearly twice 

 as long as the head and thorax united, naked, black, marked near the middle with a 

 broad white ring; palpi slender, tapering to the tip, brown, the base of each joint 

 white, sides of last two joints and outer side of the preceding one rather long gray 

 pilose. Thorax black, marked with a dorsal gray vitta, tomentum of thorax yel- 

 lowish, except a white subdorsal undulating line each side, a spot in front of the 

 scutellum, above the root of each wing, and on the pleura. Abdomen black, a fascia
