The male of this species is descriljed from specimens taken on screens 

 at Colon, Panama. Its structure is identical with that of Aedes 

 bjmaculaius, Coq.

The following new species are included in a collection of 32 species

 bred from Nepenthes ; Hodgesia ampyx ; Rachionotomyia monelifera ; 

 Culex hensemaeon ; C.inelegans ; C. (Neoculex) fidelis ; and Maiisonia

Aedes aldrichi, D. & K., apparently breeds nowhere else but in 

 flood-pools. Two other species, A. vexans, Meig., and A. cinereus. 

 Meig., occur in flood-pools, although not breeding exclusively in them. 

 All three species have been found in Washington, and the first two 

 also in Oregon. It seems possible that A. goninus, D. (a; K., from 

 Texas, is a flood-species allied to A . ahirichi.

In 1916 Knab showed that the name argenteus, Poiret, was an earlier 

 name for the yellow fever mosquito than fasciata, F. A still earlier 

 name is Culex aegypti, L., dating from 1762. Edwards has suggested 

 that the name fasciata should be retained, but the author does not 

 think it necessary to make an exception to the usual rule ; in cases 

 of doubt the name fasciata, F., could be added in parentheses.
