488 MOSQUITOES OF XORTH AMERICA 



June 21, 1899 (Harriman Expedition) ; Valley of the Mavo Eiver, Yukon 

 Territory, latitude 63 45', longitude 136, 1904 (J. Keele). Also reported 

 from St. Martin's Falls, Albany Eiver, Hudson's Bay Territory (Walker). 



Culiseta impatiens is nearly allied to incidens Thomson, in common with it 

 lacking the scales on the cross-veins of the wings, and having the ventral 

 row of short spines on the penultimate segment of the male. Dr. Felt has con- 

 fused the homology of the male genitalia by failing to observe the harpagones in 

 incidens and identifying the harpagones of impatiens with the harpes. The 

 genitalia are different enough, but not so widely so as his descriptions would 

 imply. The species was for a long time confounded with inornatus Williston, 

 to which it is not so nearly allied as to incidens, but which it more nearly re- 

 sembles superficially. Dr. Felt was the first to distinguish the two species, but 

 we have not been able to conserve either of his names. The female of impatiens 

 is distinguishable from inornatus by the absence of any pale scales on the wing 

 veins ; the male by the presence of the pale abdominal bands, which are absent in 

 inornatus. Walker's types of impatiens and pinguis have not been examined by 

 us, but we think no other species could have been under observation, considering 

 the large size and the northern habitat of both. The names have been quoted 

 under inornatus, owing to the confusion of these species. Theobald, in treating 

 Culiseta impatiens, figures a wing of C. inornatus as the male of impatiens 

 (Mon. Culic, iv, 385, fig. 157), as is evident from the presence of scales on the 

 cross-veins; we are therefore obliged to give the reference under both species.
