This may be a bright fresh specimen of Culex erraticus 

 D. & K., but that cannot be decided until the male is at hand. 

 It seems to be well distributed in the limestone region of 

 Texas. 



Mr. Dohanian's names, said to have been obtained from 

 the Army Medical Museum, are obvious misidentifications of 

 this species. 



Culex (Choeroporpa) egberti Dyar & Knab. 



Culex egberti Dyar & Knab, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, xv. 214, 1907. 

 Culex (Mochlostyrax) egberti Dyar & Knab. Ins. Ins. Mens., v, 

 180, 1917. 



The types are three females. The mesonotum is dark brown, 

 not golden, the abdomen with a row of little white spots dor- 

 sally. Without males it is impossible to say whether this is a 

 good species, an unadorned form of erraticus^ or peccator, or 

 perihleptus. I do not think now that it is a Mochlostyrax, but 

 probably a Choeroporpa.

The type series of both peccator and incriminator contain 

 males, making the synonymy certain. Positive records are at 

 hand from Arkansas, Mississippi and North Carolina, and 

 probable ones from Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. 

 The distribution, therefore, overlaps that of erraticus, to which 

 this is very closely allied. Besides the differences in the male
