TLIE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 261 



This differs from typical (Ecanthus by not having maxillary palpi 

 with last three joints elongate, subequal, and last joint excavated at tip 

 beneath; from Zabea by not having fifth joint of maxillary palpi longer than 

 third and fourth very short. It can easily be separated by the antennal 

 characters noticed above from other species in the subfamily {CE. 

 argetitinus and CE. calif ornicus not seen.) 



In all other species examined there were several joints between the 

 second and twentieth of the antennt« that were much elongated. 



This species was first noticed by the author when classifying the 

 species of (Ecanthince in the 111. State Laboratory of Nat. History, for the 

 purpose of making some food studies in the group. It is described at the 

 request of the Director of the Laboratory, Dr. S. H. Forbes, in whose 

 honour I have named the species. 



NOTES ON CULEX KELLOGGII, THEOBALD. 



BY D. W COQUILLETT, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



In the Canadian Entomologist for August, Mr. Theobald described 

 a Ctilex Kelloggii as new; the description agrees well with the specimens 

 on which I founded Ciilex tarsalis*, and undoubtedly refers to the same 

 species. 



My specimens were from the same lot as the one which Dr. Williston 

 described as Culex, n. sp.f, to which description Lieut. Giles applied the 

 name of Culex Willistoni. n. sp.j; the latter name is therefore also a 

 synonym of tarsalis. 



On page 25 of the Kansas University Science Bulletin, June, 1903, 

 Mr. C. F. Adams described a Culex affinis, n. sp. ^not of Stephens, 1825), 

 which is evidently founded on a somewhat abraded specimen of tarsalis. 

 The synonymy at present is therefore as follows : 

 Culex TARSALIS, Coquillett, 1896. 

 Culex, n. sp., Williston, 1893. 

 Culex Willistoni, Giles, 1900. 

 Culex affinis, Adams, June, 1903. 

 Culex Kelloggii, Theobald, August, 1903.
