MOSQUITO FAUNA OF PANAMA — BUSCK 6/ 



CULEX CUBENSIS Bigot 



Bred from larvae taken in very foul water in some old French 

 machinery near Las Cascadas. It was also bred, both by Mr. Jen- 

 nings and myself, from old boats on Taboga Island associated with 

 Cities coroiiator and Stcgoiiiyia calopus. 



CULEX CORONATOR Dyar and Knab 



Bred near Tabernilla, from a stagnant ill-smelling pool, caused by 

 recent dirt dumping, and from a rain-water barrel near there ; from 

 hoof-prints along a stream and from an old iron sugar boiler ; also 

 from a stream back of Culebra prison ; from a cement trap contain- 

 ing sink-water in Las Cascadas ; from a still pool of a shaded stream 

 along the upper Chagres River; from a drinking-water tank at 

 Allehuela ; from a rain-water pool near Bohio ; from a barrel in 

 Pedro Miguel, and from an old boat on Taboga Island. Mr. Jen- 

 nings also obtained this species from a boat on Taboga Island. 



CULEX REGULATOR Dyar and Knab 



Bred from an old boat on Taboga Island, and also by Mr. Jen- 

 nings from a tub with water used for cattle, on the same island. 



CULEX LEPRINCEI Dyar and Knab 



Bred from larvae taken from the grassy edges of a slowly running 

 stream near Pedro Miguel, where it was associated with Culex in- 

 qnisitor, and from a large ill-smelling pool caused by dumping of 

 dirt near Tabernilla ; associated with Culex coronator and Culex 

 conspirator. 



The species is named in honor of Mr. J. A. Le Prince, whose re- 

 markable work against mosquitoes in Cuba and Panama is well 

 known. 



CULEX EQUIVOCATOR Dyar and Knab 



Bred from larvae taken near Lion Hill in the water-filled center of 

 a cut banana trunk, where they were found together with the larvae 

 of Culex lactator and Hcriiiagogus regalis. The water was foul and 

 slimy. 



CULEX INTERROGATOR Dyar and Knab 



Bred from larvae associated with those of Ctilex coronator in a 

 barrel with rain-water near Tabernilla, and from a stagnant pool 

 near the same place, from which Culex coronator and Culex leprincei 

 were also bred.
