 plate is present, also the three filaments, the leaf and another 

 filament beyond. Instead of one seta near the base of the

 corniger, it is an unadorned specimen. 



Culex palus Theobald.

 Dr. Low. This places the species in Culex factor or inflictus,

 cent and may be different. The genitalia of the male from 

 British Guiana (fig., Mon. Culic, iv, 456, 1907), are from a 

 difi^erent species. 



Culex scholasticus Theobald.

 Theobald by Edwards and Dyar. The male genitalia of
