MOSQUITO BIOLOGY 231 



in relation to the mating habits : 'I find the males of a certain locality 

 all go to some certain tree or bush and are always to be found there, yet 

 not a single female will be seen. I have looked at all times of the day and 

 before day and after night. I took all my males (a hundred or so) on 

 some poison ivy that grew on a hackberry tree 100 yards from the 

 breeding log. I could always find them here after they just made their 

 appearance and nowhere else. The most of them were taken from the 

 same bunch of leaves ; but not a female did I ever see.' " 



Other Species 



In addition to the thirty-seven species described above four more have 

 been identified in this state. They are rare and of no great economic 

 importance, but should be listed here. Mosquito News, Volume 2, Num- 

 ber 4, describes the last three species listed here, 



Aedes fitchii Felt and Young was first listed by Dr. Smith in his 

 mosquito report of 1906. 



Aedes mitchellae Dyar has been recognized by several members of the 

 staff of the Entomology Department of the New Jersey Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. It was first taken in a trap by Mr. Fred A. Reiley 

 in 1941. In 1942 Mr. Thomas D. Mulhern collected a pupa near New 

 Egypt, and the adult reared was determined by Dr. Alan Stone. Since 

 then many A. mitchellae larvae have been collected throughout the 

 state. 



Anopheles atropos Dyar and Knab is recorded by Dr. T. C. Nelson 

 in the twenty-ninth Proceedings New Jersey Mosquito Extermination 

 Association. 



Theobaldia inornata Will, was found by Mr. Flynn in Passaic County 

 in 1941, and by Mr. Reiley at Port Republic in 1942.
