CULEX (CHOEROPORPA) ERRATICUS Dyar and Knab. 
Mochlostyraz erraticus Dyar and Knap, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., vol. 14, p. 
223, 1906. 
Culex abominator DysaR and Kwas, Smith. Mise. Colls., Quart. iss., vol. 52, 
p. 257, 1909. 
A small black mosquito, the mesonotum dark brown, with more or 
less of a golden tint. Abdomen dark dorsally, with variable bands 
and white lateral segmental spots, banded black and white below. 
The markings are uncharacteristic, the species only to be certainly 
differentiated by the male genitalia or larvae. 
The larvae live in permanent bodies of water full of aquatic vege- 
tation. The adult bites annoyingly in woods by the margins of ponds 
and streams. The eggs are laid quite firmly attached to a leaf or other 
object in the water. 
Distribution—Mississippi Valley and Texas. Some of the records 
below are uncertain in the absence of males.

CULEX (CHOEROPORPA) PECCATOR Dyar and Knab. 
Culex peccator Dyar and Knap, Smith, Misc. Colls., Quart. iss., vol. 52, p.

Culex incriminator DysR and Kwas, Smith. Mise. Coll., quart. iss., vol. 
52, p. 257, 1909. 
A small blackish mosquito, the mesonotum dark brown. Abdomen 
dark brown dorsally, with white basal segmental spots on the sides. 
Venter black and white banded, but indistinctly. The markings are 
uncharacteristic. The species is a close ally of erraticus, replacing 
it in the Atlantic region, but on account of distinct differences in the 
genitalia to be considered as a good species. The larva is much like 
that of erraticus, and the habits, so far as known, similar. 
Distribution.—Atlantic and Gulf coastal regions.
