The Mosquitoes of Canada ioi 



the habitus is characteristic, and when once learned, the species can 

 generally be recognized. The markings vary in the extent of median 

 brown shading, which may be absent; also the lines may be narrow or 

 broad, even completely filling the mesonotum. The winter is passed in 

 the egg state, the larvae developing in the earliest spring pools. The 

 males swarm low, near the ground, in front of small bushes under trees. 

 Distribution: Northern forests from Atlantic to Pfcaific, coming 

 further south into the transitional zone than the two preceding species.
