8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.75 



CULICELLA IMPATIENS Walker 



In the Glacier Park in 1926 overwintering adults were quite fond 

 of entering the cabin in early spring, in company with Anopheles 

 maculipennis. None were thus seen after June, and later larvae 

 began to be found in cold spring pools after the snow water and 

 river floods had wholly passed. Adults were very common at dusk 

 at Many Glacier on the still evening of June 2. A still evening is rare 

 at that spot, however. Mr. Mabee submitted specimens from Hamil- 

 ton June 3, 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. Parker). 



CULICELLA INCIDENS Thomson 



Not found in the Glacier Park in 1921, although it occurred in 

 several isolated spots in 1926. The larvae inhabit late pools of a 

 generally permanent character. They occurred in an old barrel partly 

 filled with water at the North Fork station. Mr. Mabee submitted 

 specimens from Hamilton June 3, 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. Parker). 



CULICELLA INORNATA Williston 



Very frequent in warmer regions in the summer time, breeding in 

 stagnant pools. Larvae were found abundantly in a water tank at 

 Kalispell in 1926. Mr. Mabee has submitted specimens from the 

 following locaHties: Three Forks, July 18, 1928 (G. Allen Mail); 

 Skalkaho Canyon, June 3, 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. Parker) ; Hamilton, 

 July 6, 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. Parker). 



CULICELLA ALASKAENSIS Ludlow 



Not hitherto recorded from the State. Mr. Mabee submitted a 

 specimen from near Squaw Creek ranger station at about 6,000 feet 

 altitude May 6, 1928 (G. Allen Mail). 



CULEX TARSALIS Cequillett 



Very common in the summer time in the warmer parts of the 

 State, breeding with Culicella inornata. Mr. Mabee submitted 

 specimens from the following localities: Skalkaho Canyon, June 3, 

 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. Parker) ; Hamilton, June 3, 1928 (Mrs. Dr. R. R. 

 Parker). 



CULEX APICALIS Adams 



The larvae were common in late summer in the Glacier Park in 

 1926 in all the cold spring pools. As this species does not bite warm- 

 blooded animals, the adults are always inconspicuous and encountered 

 only b}'' beating. 



ANOPHELES MACULIPENNIS Meigen 



The "malaria mosquito" was rather common on the west side of 

 the Glacier Park in 1926, hibernating adults entering the cabin in 

 early spring. Larvae were found in the warmer algae-filled pools 

 along the larger lakes and marshes. Mr. Mabee submitted bred 

 specimens from Victor July 12, 1918 (R. R. Parker).
