The references to this species as Stegomyia fasciata are so 
numerous and so well known that it is unnecessary to list 
them all here.! The absolute identity of fasciata with calopus, 
Mg, is not proved, and as the description of Villiers’ Culex 
fasciatus is quite unintelligible and the type non-existent no 
possible gain is obtained by endeavouring to alter this mos- 
quito’s well-known name. The Kertesz Catalogue does not 
mention Villiers’ species, which, moreover, may not even have 
been a Culex at all. Messrs. Howard, Dyar and Knab in their 
monumental work on the North American Mosquitoes actually 
seriously propose to change the name to argenteus, Poiret, 
Jour. de Physique xxx, 245 (1787). S. fasctata is the sole 
carrier of yellow fever.

In Edwards’ latest opinion the true Culex scutellaris of Walker 
is not the common oriental species generally known as such, but 
is identical with the zonatipes of Walker, and the Aseudoscutel- 
laris of Theob. It has not, however, been possible for him to 
examine Doleschall’s type of C. variegatus, and the identity must 
be received with some caution. I have already accepted his 
previous synonymy of the generally accepted ‘* scutellaris, Walk.”
