22 PRINCIPAL HOUSEHOLD INSECTS. 



Anopheles punctipennis^ and A. quadrimaculata, occur all over tlie 

 country, from New England to Texas, and even to southern California. 

 In almost any given locality in the United States, therefore, one would 

 probably be able to find all of these eight species, with perhaps two or 

 three additional ones. 



The list which follows was drawn up by ]\[r. Coquillett, and embodies, 

 in part, the results of his studies. It must be remembered that, after 

 all, the material was scanty, since no one has taken the trouble to 

 thoroughly collect mosquitoes. The list represents, however, a distinct 

 and important advance on our former knowledge of these annoying 

 creatures.
