Mosquitoes 

 Aedes, n. sp. 



(Ochlerotatus.) 



A few larvse collected with Aedes nearcticus Dyar .-ti Bernard harbour, 

 Northwest Territories, represent an apparently undescribed form, but as thi 

 is no way of associating an adult, a name is nol proposed. 



Head hairs single; ante-ant ennal tuft in two; antennae long, Blender, a two- 

 haired tuft at the middle. Skin glabrous. Lateral comb of the eighth segmenl 

 of fifteen scales in a narrow patch; single scale with long terminal thorn. Air 

 tube about three times as long as wide, tapered on I he miter half; pecten reach- 

 ing beyond the middle, the last three teeth detached; hair tuft in four, situated 

 within the last tooth. Anal segment ringed by the plate, the brush posteriorly 

 directed; anal gills four, tapered, rather short. 



Aedes (Ochlerotatus) sp. 



A dozen females from Seward peninsula, Alaska, of an Aedes with dark- 

 brown scales over the mesonotum, the pile apparently less abundanl than in 

 A. nearcticus. No advantage would be gained by attempting to apply a name 

 to this form, which must await the collection of males, or at leasl more perfect 

 specimens.
