A large genus of tropical distribution, most of the species ad- 
dicted to the water in the leaves of Bromeliaceae. The genus has 
been subdivided into subgenera on the characters of the male geni- 
talia. Those occurring in the United States separate as follows:

A small stout mosquito with dark mesonotum and violet protho- 
racic lobes, the mid legs with the distal half of second tarsal joint, 
the third to fifth silvery white, the hind legs with small white spots 
at the bases of the tarsal joints beneath, the latter occasionally ab- 
sent (antoinetta Dyar and Knab). Abdomen black above, silvery 
white below, the colors separated on the sides in a straight line. 
Patches of silvery white scales on the sides. A small group of 
bristles on the posterior side of the metanotum. 
The larvae live in the water that collects in the leaf bases of epi- 
phytic Bromeliaceae, which adorn the limbs of the higher trees in 
tropical Florida. The life history has not been minutely observed. 
Distribution—The Greater Antilles and southern Florida.
