The following are not included in the table, as we possess no male specimens : 

 continentalis Dyar & Knab, and coatzacoalcos Dyar & Elnab, while of anhydor

Original Descbiption of Aedes sapphirinus: 



^<^. Fuscus; fronte, thoracis linea media et pleurarum strigis cyaneo-micanti- 

 bus; pedibus nigris; coxis, femorumque basi pallida; femorum tibiarumque extremo 

 apice superne niveis. Long. corp. 0.13. Long. al. 0.12 of an inch. 



Front blackish, with a metallic-blue reflection along the eyes, especially in the 

 middle; antennae blackish, scapus tawny; those of the male apparently 15-jointed 

 (13-1-2); flagellum with 12 beautifully bearded joints; a thirteenth, elongated, 

 linear joint has some scattered hairs, but no beard like the preceding ones. Pro- 

 boscis long, reaching in the male, if bent backwards, to about the middle of the 

 abdomen; rather conspicuously incrassated at the tip; perhaps still longer in the
