Genus Anopheles. 



A. maculipennis Meig., 3 2.00 per cent. 



A. punctipennis Say, 18 12.00 ** 



Genus Culex. 

 C. pipiens Linn. Fifty-nine males, fourteen females. 



This is a medium-sized brown mosquito, and by far the most numerous 

 form in this vicinity. It is found indoors more often than any other. 

 It does not seem to be so susceptible to cold, as it is common several 

 weeks after frost. 

 C. soUicitans Walk. Twelve females, three males. 



A rather large mosquito, with conspicuously banded legs. It is found on 

 high and on low ground and indoors. It is a hard biter, especially 

 after night. It is a quite common species during warm weather, but 

 disappears with frost. 

 C. inconspicuous Grossbeck. Seven females. 



About the size of C. pipiens, but is quite yellowish. Taken on high 

 ground. 

 C. consobrinus Desv. ( C. inornatus Will. ) Twelve females. 



A brown mosquito, resembling C. pipiens but distinguished from it by the 

 greater length of the petiole of the first submarginal cell. It is much 

 more common on high ground than on low. It is hard to take with a 

 cyanide bottle, and I have never observed it to bite. It is found after 

 frost. C. consobrinus is the same as specimens in the University 

 museum labeled C. inornatus. 

 C. restuans Theob. Five females. 



This mosquito much resembles C. pipiens, but has two white dots on the 

 shoulders. It is described by Smith sometimes as having a U-shaped 

 mark on the posterior portion of the thorax, but I have never ob- 

 served this. Felt, in Bulletin 79 of New York State Museum, states 

 that the dots on the shoulders are also variable. 

 C. territans Walk. Three females. 



A small, blackish mosquito, with unhanded legs. Found only on low, 

 swampy ground during warm weather. 

 C. melanurus Coq. Four females. 



A medium-sized species, dark brown in color, the segments of the abdo- 

 men unhanded or but very slightly at their base. The three posterior 

 segments always unhanded. 

 C. tarsalis Coq. Two females. 



A medium-sized brown mosquito, with banded legs. Taken on University 

 campus early in October. Habits unknown. 

 C. perturbans Walk. Two females. 



A rather small, dark mosquito, the dark scales on the wings giving 

 them a clouded appearance. Taken last week in October. Habits 

 unknown. 

 C. stimulans Walk. (C. cantans Coq.) One male. 



A brown mosquito, having the basal bands of the tarsi very wide. 

 Taken in September.
