962 MOSQUITOES OF NORTH AMERICA 



The specimen which we have examined from Cuba is in very poor condition, 

 but as well as we are able to judge, belongs to this species. Theobald, in the 

 fourth volume of the Monograph of Culicidae, places the species correctly in his 

 synoptic table, but adds " caudal tuft steel-blue and white/' The specimens 

 before us have no caudal tufts whatever, although they are bred and in excellent 

 condition, and we can only regard this statement as erroneous. It originated, 

 apparently, in Colonel Giles's work, and has been carelessly reproduced by other 

 authors without personal verification. 



The records of Megarhinus portoricensis, by Williston from St. Vincent 

 (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 189G, 270), and by Theobald, from Georgia, Missis- 

 sippi, Para, Brazil, and Grenada (Mon, Culic, i, 233, 1901; v, 93, 1910) we 

 believe to be based on misidentifications. The specimens so reported from locali- 

 ties in the United States are unquestionably males of M. septentrionalis. We 

 have not seen specimens of M. portoricensis from the Lesser Antilles or South 

 America and we do not believe that it occurs there; the fauna of the lesser 

 islands is, in the main, distinct from that of the Greater Antilles and nearly 

 related to that of South America. It should be further noted that the males 

 of Megarhinus septentrionalis were for many years identified as M. portoricensis 

 by Mr. Coquillett and that this led to many erroneous records.
