ArT. 1. MOSQUITOES OF THE UNITED STATES—DYAR, 29 
The larvae live in dark permanent pools in the forest, where they 
are frequently much preyed upon by Hucorethra underwoodi larvae. 
The adults hibernate; the eggs are deposited in broad roundly tri- 
angular rafts on the surface of the water. 
Distribution—Northern forests from the Atlantic to Pacific, 
mountains of California to Alaska.

Culex magnipennis Fret, Bull. 79, N. Y. State Mus., p. 278, 1904. 
A very large brown mosquito. Proboscis and palpi brown. Meso- 
notum with two pale brown, slightly impressed lines, the vestiture 
crossing these, of pale yellowish and dark scales mixed. Abdomen 
dark-brown, with diffused pale yellow basal segmental bands, and 
scattering scales over the rest; venter sparsely pale yellow scaled. 
Legs dark brown, with scattered pale scales, the femora and tibiae 
pale below; tarsi nearly black. Wings broad, the cross veins some- 
what approximated, but not very close, long from the breadth of the 
wing and generally with a few scales; wing scales linear, all dark, 
not forming any spots. 
The male genitalia have the aedoeagus slender and crested; penul- 
timate segment without spines. 
The larvae live in permanent ground pools. They do not come 
in artificial receptacles. The adults hibernate, and the eggs are laid 
in elongate rafts on the surface of water. The adult is not trouble- 
some, probably attacking by preference the larger mammals. 
Distribution—North America, from Mexico to southern Canada, 
exclusive of the northern forests.
