NO. 3657 SUBGENUS CULEX—BRAM B58) 
barbed; preantennal head hair 7 multiple. Mentum with about seven 
bluntly rounded teeth; the apical tooth is broader and longer than 
the lateral teeth. Body finely and sparsely spiculate. Comb with 
many scales in a patch; each scale rounded apically and fringed with 
subequal spinules. Siphonal index 3.5 to 4.5; siphon finely and 
densely spiculate basally, progressively more coarsely spiculate 
apically; six or seven multiple siphonal tufts present. Pecten with 
10 to 14 teeth reaching a little beyond the basal third of the siphon; 
each tooth with coarse barbs on one side. Anal segment completely 
ringed by the saddle; the saddle darkly pigmented dorsally. Anal 
gills two, short, bulbous. 
MATERIAL EXAMINED.—The male terminalia of 17 specimens from 
the Bahama and Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Cuba; the lectotype 
larva and 10 other larval specimens. 
DistripuTion.—Reported from the Bahama Islands (the type 
locality), the Antilles, Trinidad, and the southern tip of Florida. A 
questionable record is from French Guiana.

Systematics.—The structures of the male terminalia of this 
species are rather generalized, but it may be readily distinguished 
from the other members of the subgenus by the pointed and gently 
curved basal process of the mesosome. Some specimens also exhibit 
an auxillary point on the basal process. 
SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: Unknown. 
Male terminalia: Basistyle conical, slightly longer than twice the 
basal width; clothed with fine setae in addition to the normal, long 
setal pattern. Apical lobe of the basistyle prominent, undivided, 
and also clothed with fine setae. Appendicles of the apical lobe as 
follows: basal rod straight, strong and rounded terminally; median 
rod broader and longer than the basal rod, and terminating in a 
small hook; apical rod not as broad as, but longer than the median 
rod, also terminating in a small hook; leaf moderate in size, obovate, 
exhibiting distinct longitudinal striations; two accessory setae present, 
one about as long as the leaf and prominently hooked terminally, the 
other very strong, pointed, gently curved, and longer than the leaf. 
Dististyle normal. Tenth sternite crowned with a dense tuft of 
short, pointed spines; basal arm moderate in length, prominently 
curved at the apex; three or four cercal setae present. External 
process gradually tapering to a blunt point; exceeding the ventral 
cornu in length. Ventral cornu dentiform, very similar in size and
