658 MOSQUITOES OF NORTH AMERICA 



Boise, Idaho, August 4, 1901 (C. B. Simpson) ; Boulder, Colorado, September 

 3, 1907 (S. A. Eohwer) ; Akron, Colorado, June 34, 1909 (H. L. Shantz) ; 

 Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico, August It (H. S. Barber) ; Cimarron, 

 N^ew Mexico, September, 1909 (C. N. Ainslie) ; Piano, Texas, November (E. S. 

 Tucker) ; Hacienda Rio Piedras Verdes, altitude 7,300 feet. Sierra Madre, 

 Chihuahua, Mexico (C. H. T. Townsend). 



It seems not improbable that this species is an inhabitant of alkaline pools. 

 Such places at least should be searched for the larvae. The species is obviously 

 allied to sollicitans and mitchellw. 



Aedes nigromaculis shows considerable variation in its coloration. The 

 ground-color of the mesonotum varies from brownish golden to sordid white, 

 while the dark brown markings vary in extent and intensity. The abdominal 

 coloration is similar to that of spencerii and curriei and varies in the same 

 manner, typical specimens showing a pair of subquadrate black patches on each 

 segment.
