and lateral hairs ; the two rows of spines on the siphon each com- 

 posed of 10-14 spines, each spine with three or four teeth which 

 crowd towards the tip in some of the spines ; anal gills about as 

 long as the ninth segment. The siphon is very long and thin, 

 usually half as long as the larva, and approaches very closely 

 that of a Mclanoconion. It mainly lives in clear water, but may be 

 found in stagnant pools. It may occur also in rain barrels and 

 pails. The grassy edge of large ponds seems a favourite place, 

 also the quiet eddies or side pools of even rapid streams. It 

 accompanies Anopheles. The larvae occur in New Jersey in 

 April and May, and even on to November.

" $ . Head brown ; scales mostly light yellow, some long brown ones ; 

 palpi and proboscis wholly brown, antennae brown, with base lighter, 

 thorax brown with light brown scales, pile black ; abdomen dark brown 

 covered with brownish scales, except those on the posterior margin, 

 which are white, forming on the second and third segments small 

 triangles by projecting forward in the middle, and on the following seg- 

 ments forming bands, ventral surface covered largely with white scales ; 

 coxae and base of femora pale yellow, rest of legs and tarsals wholly brown, 

 tarsal claws small and simple ; veins of wings sparsely covered with hairs 

 and scales, petiole of first sub-marginal cell one-half the length of that 

 cell, the cross-veins at ends of first and second basal cells distant from 

 each other. 



Length. — 4j mm.

Note. — This may be a distinct species, but comes very near 

 Culex geniculate Olivier, and C. targentii, Theobald. From the 

 former it only differs in not having a white band on the palpi, 

 but as the strange second and third abdominal markings agree, 

 it may prove to be only geniculates.
