Aedes grossbccki D. & K. (The Scaly-Winged Mosquito). Larvae were 

 taken at Paterson in May, at New Brunswick, May and June. Adults were 

 taken also at Westville and Mount Holly, specimens occurring near New 

 Brunswick until July 28. This is a rather rare species, breeding only in pools 

 in dense woodland, whose shelter the adults never leave. There is only a 

 single spring brood, the late captures representing straggling survivors. This 

 species was at first identified with ".squamiger," which later proved to be 

 different in habits and early stages.
