bronzy luster, the tarsi with very narrow yellowish-white rings at both ends of the 

 joints, last joint of hind tarsi narrowly whitish tipped ; claws simple ; scales of the 

 wing-veins brown, long and narrow. Length, 3 mm. 



$ . — Palpi considerably longer than the proboscis, the apical half with numer- 

 ous long brown hairs, wholly brown scaled, without rings ; antennae strongly plumose ; 

 abdomen slender, depressed, dark-scaled above with faint bronzy luster, the segments 

 with silvery- white basal bands which are produced triangularly in the middle, eighth 

 segment entirely white scaled. Length, 3.5 mm. 



Sixteen specimens, Taboga Island, Panama (A. H. Jennings, col- 

 lector), bred from larvae in water in old tubs in a pasture near the 

 bathing beach. 



Type. — No. 109 16, U. S. National Museum. 



The larva is very close to that of Culex carmodyce Dyar & Knab, 

 but has the pecten of the air-tiibe longer. 



Culex revelator, new species. 



9 . — Proboscis rather long and slender, not swollen at apex, brown scaled, not 

 ringed ; palpi short, black scaled ; occiput brown scaled, ocular margin white ; 

 metanotum golden-brown scaled, pleura pale greenish gray ; abdomen subdepressed, 

 truncate at the tip, clothed above with black scales with bronzy and blue luster, the 

 second and third segments with a median, basal, small patch of white scales, the 

 succeeding segments banded, the bands broadest at middle, much narrowed at the 

 sides, on the banded segments the bands are broadened laterally towards the ventral 

 area ; beneath entirely white scaled ; legs dark with bronzy luster, the tarsi nar- 

 rowly ringed with yellow-white at both ends of the joints ; the tip of the last joint 

 of the hind tarsi white ; claws simple ; wing scales brown, long and narrow. Length, 

 3 mm. 



$ . — Palpi considerably longer than the proboscis, brown scaled with bronzy 

 and bluish luster, the apical half with numerous long blackish hairs ; antennae amply 

 plumose ; abdomen long and slender, the segments with moderately broad basal sil- 

 very-white bands, those on the sixth and seventh segments dilated at the sides. 

 Lateral cilia long, moderately abundant, pale brown. Length, 3.5 mm. 



Four specimens, Taboga Island, Panama (A. H. Jennings, collec- 

 tor), bred from larvse found in a boat containing water. 



Type. — No. 10917, U. S. National Museum. 



The larva is allied to Culex proclamatorX). & K. and C. inquisitor 

 D. & K., but differs from both in having the basal tuft of the tube 

 well within the pecten. 

 Culex leprincei, new species. 



9 . — Proboscis moderately long and slender, enlarged towards the apex, entirely 

 black scaled ; palpi short, black scaled ; occiput clothed with flat bronzy scales and 

 with black erect forked ones, without white ocular margin ; mesonotum clothed with 

 deep bronzy brown scales with faint indications of two lighter longitudinal dorsal 

 lines; scutellum bronzy scaled; metanotum deep pitchy brown; abdomen broad.
