Note on Synonomy. — Unfortunately the name by which this 

 important mosquito is now universally known has to sink. The 

 specific name fasciata was used for a Culex by Villiers in 1789, 

 and thus antedates Fabricius 5 name. I am not at all sure that 

 Meigen's calopus is this species, but Blanchard and Coquillett 

 assume it to be so. The description does not well apply. There 

 is no doubt that Desvoidy's f rater is and it will possibly prove 

 that this will be the correct name. It would be far better,
