redescription of the larva. Final placement of this species awaits the 
description of the male terminalia. 
SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: See table 1. 
Male terminalia: Unknown. 
Larva: Antennal tuft located in a constriction near the outer third; 
antennal shaft strongly swollen at the basal third, spiculate; spicules 
more numerous basally. Upper frontal head hair 5 with seven long, 
barbed branches; lower frontal head hair 6 with eight or nine long, 
barbed branches; preantennal head hair 7 long, multiple. Mentum 
with about 21 teeth; apical tooth strong and feebly pointed; basal 
lateral three teeth more pointed and detached. Body glabrous. 
Comb with about 20 fringed scales arranged in a triangular patch of 
three rows. Siphonal index about 3.0; four pairs of siphonal tufts, the 
basal tuft single and inserted within the pecten, the subbasal tuft 
single, the subapical tuft single, bifurcated, and the apical tuft short, 
two or three branched. Pecten with five long, finely pointed teeth; 
each tooth with fine barbs on one side; restricted to the basal third of 
the siphon. Anal segment glabrous, completely ringed by the saddle. 
MATERIAL EXAMINED.—None. Known to the author only from 
the descriptions and figures of Senevet and Abonnenc (1946 and 
1958). 
DistriBuTION.—Known only from the type locality, French 
Guiana.

SystEeMaAtics.—This species is similar to Culex mauesensis and C. 
secutor. It is distinctive in the appendicles on the apical lobe of the 
basistyle and in the conformation of structures of the mesosome. 
SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: See table 1. 
Male terminalia: Basistyle conical, about three times as long as the 
basal width. Apical lobe of the basistyle prominent, undivided. 
Appendicles of the apical lobe as follows: basal rod strong, gently 
curved at the apex; median and apical rods subequal, broader and 
longer than the basal rod and prominently hooked distally; leaf 
moderate in size, pointed distally; two accessory setae present, one 
strong and prominently hooked, the other longer than the leaf and 
gently curved. Dististyle normal. Tenth sternite crowned with a 
dense tuft of short, pointed spines; basal arm moderate in length and 
curved; cercal setae present. External process gradually tapering to 
a blunt point; slightly exceeding the ventral cornu in length. Ventral 
cornu clavate, serrate terminally, distinctly separated from the teeth 
of the median process. Median process with about 14 strong, pointed 
teeth. Basal process short, straight, and bluntly rounded.
