Culex pullatus Coquillett, Proc. ent. soc. Wash., vi, 16S, 1904. 



Culex pullatus Dyar, Journ. N. Y. ent. soc, xii, 245, 1904. 



One of the early spring species, very abundant in snow water in the 

 Selkirks of eastern British Colombia. It possibly has a northern 

 distribution, but no data are available, as all the blaek-legged species 

 have been lumped under nigripes Zett. in the literature. 



Aedes grossbecki, new species. 



Culex squamiger Smith (not Coquillett), Ent. News, xv, 80, 1904. 

 Culex squamiger Smith & Grossbeck, Psyche, xii, 13, 1905. 

 Culex squamiger Smith, N. J. Agr. Exp. Sta., Rept. Mosq., 224, 1905. 

 Culex curriei Dyar (in part), Journ. N. Y. ent. soc, xiii, 28, 1905. 

 Culex squamifer Blanchard (in part), Les Moustiques, 630, 1905. 



The New Jersey specimens identified as "Culex squamiger Coq." 

 by Mr. Coquillett and published by Prof. Smith we fully believe to be 

 a distinct species. Mr. Quayle records (Can. ent, xxxviii, 27, 1906) 

 the true squamiger (Coquillett, Proc. IT. S. Nat. Mus., xxv, 85, 1902) 

 as a salt marsh species from the Californian coast, to which it is no 

 doubt confined. The New York records of ' ' Grabliamia curriei Coq.' ' 

 seem to refer to the present species. Unfortunately we have not been 

 able to secure Californian larvae for comparison, although Mr. Quayle 

 kindlv endeavored to supply us. It is quite possible that the Culex 

 onondagensis Felt (Bull. 79, N. Y. Sta. Mus., 304, 1904) may prove 

 to be this species, in which case our new name may be placed in the 

 synonymy. 



Aedes pretans Grossbeck. 

 Culex pretans Grossbeck, Ent. News., xv, 332, 1904. 

 Culex pretans Smith & Grossbeck, Psyche, xii, 17, 1905 

 Culex pretans Smith, N. J. Agr. exp. Sta., Rept. Mosq., 293, 1905. 

 Culex pretans Britton & Viereck, Rept. Conn. Agr. Ex. Sta. 1904, pt. iii, pi., xii, 

 1905- 



One of the earlv Spring forms. Its distribution seems to be less 

 northern than some of the others. 



Aedes aestivalis Dyar. 

 Culex aestivalis Dyar, Journ. N. Y. ent. soc, xii, 245, 1904. 



Common in the Selkirks of eastern British Colombia, the adults 

 flying later than the earliest Spring species, of which this is probably 

 one.
