Original Desckiption of Culex quinquefasciatus: 



Body cloathed with cinereous hair; abdomen annulate with blackish. 



Inhabits the western states. 



Eyes deep black; antenmr fuscous, region of the base paler; proboscis black; 

 thorax with a dilated dorsal fuscous vitta; pectus each side varied with blackish; 

 halteres entirely whitish; scutel glabrous; ivings with dusky nervures, immaculate; 

 feet moderate, fuscous; thighs whitish; abdomen cinereous; tergum with five black, 

 broad, fasciae; tail black above. 



Length about one-fifth of an inch; proboscis one-tenth of an inch. 



This is an exceedingly numerous and troublesome species. We found them in 

 great numbers on the Mississippi in May and June. The hairy covering is very 

 deciduous, and when an individual is caught by hand, the back of the thorax, in 

 consequence of being denuded by the touch, exhibits the dorsal vittse of a blackish 

 colour confluent at the base, with an oval black spot on each side. The abdominal 

 annuli are sometimes fuscous or even light brown. 



Legs much shorter than those of the preceding species [Anopheles punctipennis'i, 

 but like them in not being annulated.
