(6) UNRECOGNIZED SPECIES. 



The following species wdiich have been credited to our country have not been 

 recognized with certainty; some of them i:)robably do not belong to the present 

 genus, while a few were evidently founded on badly rubbed specimens in which the 

 distinctive characters were therefore wanting: 



annuUmanvs v. d. Wulp. I strongly suspect that this does not belong to the present 

 genus; the description applies fairly well to the male of Culex consobrinus Desv. 



ferrugiiiosKs Wied. This author proposes this name for the species previously 

 described by Say under the name of Oulex quinquefasciatus, but the description which 

 lie gives differs so decidedly from the one published by Say as to give the impression 

 that it is founded on a different species. I strongly suspect that the type of ferm- 

 (/iiiosiisis a ruobed example of Aiiopheles cr>tcia)ts, which was described from the same 

 locality. Say's description of his Culc.r qin)iqnt'f<tsrialus agrees very well with the 

 sjiecies which I have identified as Culex impiger \\'alker. 



marulipennis Meigen. I strongly suspect lliat this European form is identical with 

 our Anoplu'les quadrinmculatus Say, but this point can not be settled definitely at 

 present, (nving to the lack of any JEuropean specimens for comparison with ours. 



nigripes Staeger. This European species should be readily recognized by its 

 unspotted wings.
