Sept., 1902] Leng : Notes on Cicindelid.^ of Louisiana. 131 



Habitat: Hagonoy, Bulacan, Luzon, P. I. 



Caught Oct. 2, 1 90 1. 



We have there one of the sinensis group, but evidently near A. 

 barbirostris van der Wulp, the "round-ended" scales being un- 

 doubtedly the same as those described by Theobald for that species 

 and apparently more numerous and wider spread on the wing than is 

 indicated for that, while the differences in antennae, palpi, wings and 

 legs, especially the latter, are so marked as to throw it out of that 



species.

NOTE ON CULEX ANNULATUS. 



By C. S. Ludlow. 



Culcx annulatiis Schrank has been heretofore regarded as of 

 doubtful occurrence in America. Giles "Mosquitoes or Gnats," new^ 

 edition, p. 392, reports it as " doubtfully recorded from America," and 

 in the British Museum Monograph (Theobald) in the lists for locali- 

 ties it stands, p. 108, under "North America and Canada," " Ciilex 

 annulatiis Meigen (?)," while on p. 334 a quotation from Osten 

 Sacken is given, " the following note occurs on C. annulatiis ' Mexico, 

 Cuidad in Durango, 8,100 feet (Forrer), a single female from Cuidad 

 agrees very well with this species.' " I am therefore glad to be able 

 to report that a single male, in fine condition, all the markings clean 

 cut and well defined, was taken by me in my house, March i, 1902, 

 Fort Baker, Marin Co., Cal. It is probable that this was a hibernat- 

 ing specimen as no others of any sort were found for more than six 

 weeks afterward, and this was taken in a particularly warm and sunny 

 room. 



NOTES ON CICINDELID^ OF LOUISIANA. 



By Charles W. Leng, B.S. 



These notes are mainly extracts from letters of Mr. George Cover- 

 dale, who has collected for the last two years at Vowell's Mill and at 

 Covington. Vowell's Mill is in Nachitoches parish in the northwest- 

 ern part of the state, and the vicinity is a vast stretch of uncleared 

 woodland, the trees being principally pines and oaks. The wood- 

 land is interrupted by sandy fields planted in cotton and corn, and by
