108 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. 62. 
A medium-sized blackish Anopheles with white-spotted wings. 
Mesonotum broadly whitish in the middle, dark brown on the sides. 
Abdomen gray, with pale hairs. Legs black, knee spots yellowish 
white. Wings spotted black and white; costa black with three white 
patches; third vein broadly white in the middie. Palpi of female 
with white rings at the bases of the joints. 
The larvae occur in ground pools and edges of streams. The 
adult is a dangerous malaria carrier. It greatly resembles puncti- 
pennis, but is not really closely allied thereto. 
Distribution—Tropical and subtropical America, southwestern 
United States to northern Argentina.

ANOPHELES (COELODIAZESIS BARBERI Coguillett. 
Anopheles barberi CoquiLteTt, Can. Ent., vol. 85, p. 310, 1903. 
A rather small blackish Anopheles with unspotted wings. Mesono- 
tum brown with dark hairs. Abdomen black, the hairs dark. Legs 
black, knee spots pale, but not contrasted. Wings uniformly black 
scaled without trace of spotting. Palpi of the female entirely dark. 
The larvae live in the water in tree holes, which occur in otherwise 
dry forests, so that this species often bites where ground-breeding 
mosquitoes are absent. This species has not been tested in the malaria- 
carrying relation; but its close European relative, plumbeus Haliday 
and Stephens, is said to be capable of transmission, but from its habi- 
tat seldom has the opportunity.
