REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I904 48 1 



Theobaldia spathipalpis Rond. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp 

 segment stout, tapering rapidly to a rather broadly rounded apex. 

 Terminal clasp segment rather slender, slightly expanded at the 

 apex and bearing two short, stout, chitinous spines. Claspette 

 represented by a somewhat conspicuous basal lobe bearing a num- 

 ber of stout, apical setae. Harpe an irregular, angular organ with a 

 somewhat enlarged, spined base and a spatulate, smooth apex. 

 Harpagones very stout with the apex expanded, subtriangular, the 

 base of the apical enlargement coarsely granulate, the apex a smooth 

 acute spine. Unci probably nearly approximate, the apex some- 

 what enlarged and rather coarsely setose. Setaceous lobes in- 

 determinate in the preparation. [PI. 13, fig. i] 



Culiseta absobrinus Felt. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp segment 

 very stout, broad, tapering rapidly to a rotmded apex, and with an 

 inner, subapical, tubercular, setaceous patch. Terminal segment 

 enlarged at base, tapering gradually to apex, which bears a stout, 

 short, apical spine. Claspette a conspicuous, sub -basal lobe bearing 

 several large and numerous smaller setae. Harpes, though ap- 

 parently absent, are represented by a very inconspicuous, thin 

 structure closely appressed to the inner face of the basal clasp seg- 

 ment. It is setose like the clasp segment and bears at its apex 

 several prominent setae. Harpagones stout, recurved, with 

 several conspicuous, subapical and two or three apical teeth. Unci 

 broad at base, narrowing posteriorly to oblique, rounded extremities. 

 Setaceous lobes slightly produced, separate, each bearing 6 to 10 

 stout setae. Posterior margin of preceding segment heavily chiti- 

 nized and with two submedian rows of short, stout, evenspines. 



Culiseta consobrinus Walk. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp seg- 

 ment broad at base tapering rapidly to a rounded apex, and bears 

 subapically a small, tubercular, setose elevation on its inner face. 

 Terminal segment slightly enlarged at its base, where there appears 

 to be a sensory organ rather stout, tapering gradually to a nearly 

 acute point, which appears to be destitute of an apical spine. 

 Claspette a conspicuous, setose, basal lobe bearing at its apex two 

 very stout spines. Harpes probably much as in C. absobrinus; 

 harpagones strongly curved and with a subapical and stout, re- 

 curved apical tooth. Inner face with a number of conspicuous, 

 apparently sensory hairs. Unci slender, separate, with one large 

 tooth near the middle, tapering gradually to a prominent sub- 

 apical spine and ending in a recurved spur. On either side of the 

 tinci and just anterior to the setaceous lobes of the eighth segment 

 there are a pair of peculiar organs, which appear like aaastamosing 

 bands of chitin. Setaceous lobes separated, moderately developed 

 and thickly crowned with numerous irregular spines. There is no 

 indication of a row of stout spines along the posterior border of 

 the preceding segment, as in C. absobrinus Felt. 



Culex diversus Theo. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp segment 

 stout, broadly rounded and eiding in a subconical internal lobe. 

 Terminal clasp segment subapical, swollen near the base and along 

 the middle, strongly curved and slender along the apical fourth and
