  A.

  Coq. 
  Larvae 
  have 
  been 
  taken 
  at 
  Chester, 
  IX,

  Lahaway 
  IX. 
  This 
  species 
  breeds 
  normally 
  

   in 
  tree 
  holes, 
  though 
  occasionally 
  it 
  resorts 
  to 
  barrels 
  or 
  old 
  tubs; 
  

   it 
  has 
  only 
  been 
  taken 
  in 
  late 
  fall. 
  

  

  A. 
  atropalpus 
  Coq. 
  This 
  species 
  breeds 
  only 
  in 
  rock-pools. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  

   taken 
  in 
  Maine 
  and 
  in 
  Maryland, 
  but 
  not 
  yet 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  It 
  is 
  

   almost 
  certain 
  that 
  it 
  occurs 
  along 
  the 
  shores 
  of 
  the 
  Delaware 
  River 
  

   near 
  the 
  Water 
  Gap. 
  

  

  A. 
  canadensis 
  Theob. 
  Throughout 
  the 
  State. 
  The 
  commonest 
  of 
  our 
  

   woodland 
  pool 
  mosquitoes, 
  larvae 
  hatching 
  from 
  over-wintering 
  eggs 
  

   before 
  the 
  ice 
  is 
  permanently 
  off 
  the 
  surface. 
  There 
  is 
  one 
  heavy 
  

   regular 
  spring 
  brood, 
  but 
  larvae 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  greater 
  or 
  less 
  

   abundance 
  throughout 
  the 
  season. 
  Bites 
  readily 
  enough 
  in 
  the 
  

   woods, 
  but 
  does 
  not 
  follow 
  into 
  the 
  open 
  and 
  never 
  enters 
  houses. 
  

  

  A. 
  dyari 
  Coq. 
  Culver's 
  Lake

  A. 
  triseriatus 
  Say. 
  Taken 
  in 
  many 
  localities 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  

   State; 
  but 
  undoubtedly 
  occurs 
  everywhere 
  in 
  it. 
  Breeds 
  normally 
  

   in 
  tree 
  holes; 
  but 
  also 
  occasionally 
  in 
  pails 
  or 
  other 
  wooden 
  recep- 
  

   tacles. 
  Larvae 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  as 
  early 
  as 
  April 
  18 
  (Paterson), 
  as 
  

   late 
  as 
  November 
  17 
  (Chester), 
  and 
  at 
  all 
  periods 
  throughout 
  the 
  

   summer. 
  

  

  A. 
  serratus 
  Theob. 
  Breeds 
  in 
  low, 
  swampy 
  woodland, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  in 
  

   mountain 
  pools. 
  Adults 
  have 
  been 
  taken 
  at 
  Great 
  Piece 
  Meadow

  A. 
  dupreel 
  Coq. 
  Occurs 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  pools 
  with 
  the 
  preceding 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  

   same 
  time. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  small, 
  rare 
  species; 
  the 
  adult 
  does 
  not 
  bite 
  humans 
  

   and 
  the 
  larva 
  is 
  a 
  bottom 
  feeder 
  that 
  gets 
  its 
  supply 
  of 
  oxygen 
  from 
  

   the 
  water 
  itself.

  Larvae 
  have

   and 
  at 
  New 
  Brunswick 
  IV, 
  16 
  to 
  V, 
  2. 
  It 
  is 
  probably 
  the 
  earliest 
  of 
  

   the 
  spring 
  species 
  to 
  mature, 
  the 
  larvae 
  rarely 
  extending 
  into 
  May, 
  

   and 
  not 
  appearing 
  again 
  later 
  in 
  the 
  season. 
  Breeds 
  in 
  low, 
  swampy 
  

   woodlands 
  and 
  in

  pools.

  Quite 
  generally 
  distributed

  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  count- 
  

   less
