CULEX PINAROCAMPA, new species. 



Female. — Proboscis moderately long and slender, not distinctly 

 swollen at the tip ; black-scaled above and beneath ; palpi black- 

 scaled; occiput clothed with recumbent whitish and bronzy brown 

 scales and with upright dark forked ones: the whitish scales form 

 a margin to the eyes, a median line and large lateral patches; meso- 

 notum bronzy brown-scaled, with several spots of light scales — a 

 pair of median subdorsal spots, a pair farther forward at the lateral 

 margin, another pair above the roots of the wings: the front margin 

 is light-scaled, as also the margin of the antescutellar bare space; 

 scutellum light-scaled, with a brassy luster; abdomen above black- 

 scaled, with bluish luster, the segments with narrow basal bands, 

 which are broadened mesially on all but the last two segments; on 

 the last three segments the bands are expanded toward the lateral 

 margins; ventrally the abdomen is pale-scaled, the apices of the 

 segments obscurely dark-banded; femora dark-scaled above, light- 

 scaled beneath nearly to the apices, knees yellowish white-scaled; 

 tibia 1 yellowish white-scaled at bases and apices, tarsi of all the legs 

 with the first, second, third, and fourth joints yellowish white-ringed 

 at bases and apices; mid and hind legs with the fifth tarsal joint 

 entirely yellowish white-scaled; last tarsal joint of the forelegs in 

 part obscurely bronzy-scaled; wings with the scales along the veins 

 dusky, long, and very narrow: claws simple. Length, 5.5 mm. 



M ale. — Proboscis stouter than in the female, black-scaled, with a 

 white mark on the ventral surface before the middle ; palpi long and 

 slender, dark-scaled, longer than the proboscis, with narrow yellowish 

 white annulations, more than half of the apical portion clothed with 

 long hairs; head and thoracic markings as in the female; abdomen 

 long and slender, black-scaled above, with clear white basal segmental 

 bands, broader than in the female, the eighth segment nearly entirely 

 white-scaled; venter light-scaled, with apical dark bands, lateral 

 margins of the abdomen with numerous long pale cilia ; tarsi marked 

 as in the female. Length, 5 mm.

CULEX CONSTERNATOR, new species. 



Female. — Proboscis long and slender, not distinctly swollen at the 

 apex, entirely dark-scaled, with bronzy luster; palpi nearly one- 

 fourth the length of the proboscis, slender, dark-scaled, with bronzy 

 luster; occiput dark-scaled, the margins of the eyes distinctly and 

 rather broadly silver-white-scaled; mesonotum dark brown scaled, 

 with slight luster ; pleura green, with patches of white scales ; abdo-
