 (Dr. Dyar). 



Time of appearance. — June (E. P. Felt). 



Observations. — Re-described from a 9 and two <$ s sent by 

 Professor E. P. Felt. It is a very marked Culex, told at once 

 by the thoracic adornment. Mr. Coquillett says the tarsi are 

 ringed basally, but in the specimens I have before me there ifl 

 no true banding, the white scales being ventral ; they appear 

 the same in male? and female and are irregular in disposition; 

 however, there is no true basal banding to the tarsi in any of 

 the specimens received. 



I arvae were obtained by Dr. Dyar in a cold permanent spring
