(Thayetmyo, Upper Burma). 



The characters of these two subspecies are defined by Theo- 

 bald but no special localities are given. 



If Culex pungens of Wiedemann is identical with this species, 

 that name takes precedence. Type presumably in Wiedemann's 

 coll. A widely distributed, common species throughout the 

 Orient, and occurs as far north as Italy. Patton reports it as very 

 common in the Aden hinterland, breeding everywhere in springs, 

 wells and puddles. Banks describes it as the most common night 

 mosquito in the Philippines, hiding during the day in clothes. Dr. 

 Low has seen them pairing b}^ night.
