EXPEEIMENT STATION" REPORT. 671 



Some collecting, however, was done, and two species heretofore 

 unrecorded from Xew Jersey and two others new to science were 

 secured. 



In the report made in 1904 thirty-seven species of mosquitoes were 

 described, all but one, Culex perturhans, in both the larval and adult 

 stages. Of these, thirty-six species had actually been taken in the 

 State; the remaining one, Culex atropalpus, was believed to occur 

 with us since we are situated intermediate to the States from which it 

 is recorded. At present writing forty-one species are known to occur, 

 and if the prediction that Culex atropalpus will be found proves to be 

 correct, forty-two will be credited to New Jersey. 



On the pages following only such forms as are new are described, 

 and notes to the species described in the former report are added. 



Anopheles pundipcnnis Say, (The Mottled-Wing Anopheles). — 

 This species has been taken in its usual numbers, but nothing was 

 added to our knowledge of its life history. 



Anopheles maculipennis Meig. (The Four-Spotted Anopheles). — 

 No specimens of this species were taken in the larval stage, but Mr. 

 J, Turner Brakeley sent in an adult female from Lahaway, where it 

 occurs rarely. 



Anopheles crucians Wied. (The DaA^-Light Anopheles) . — No speci- 

 mens of this mosquito were collected during the summer in any 

 stage, the drought along shore apparently preventing its occurrence. 

 In early November ^Ir. Brehme sent in a few larvae and pupge taken in 

 jjools on the Elizabeth marshes in company with Culex cantator and 

 C. salinaniis. Adults emerged from the pupge November 4th and 

 gave both the latest record for it and the northernmost locality thus 

 far discovered. 



Anopheles harheri Coq. (The Tree-Hole Anopheles). — This mos- 

 quito had not Ijcen taken in New Jersey until the present year, and is 

 the smallest of the four species of Anopheles occurring with us. It 

 is brownish, with unhanded beak and dark brown, unhanded legs. The 

 wings are entirely without spots and this character serves to distin- 

 guish it from all other New Jersev forms.
