This name is here employed in the sense intended by Coquil- 

 lett, and not in that which his citation of type would imply.

Culcx conservator Howard, Dyar and Knab, Monog., iii, 308,

44. Culex (Melanoconion) atratus Theobald.

45. Culex (Melanoconion) falsificator Dyar and Knab.

 Culex agitator Howard, Dyar and Knab (in part, adult only), 

 Monog., iii, 384, 1915. 



This Cuban species comes very close to atratus from 

 Jamaica and may not be distinct. The apparent genitalia dif- 

 ference may be due to the position of the parts on the slide. 

 The colorational differences given in the monograph appear 

 unreliable. The adults associated with the larvse of agitator 

 do not appertain to that species.
