(b) UNRECOGNIZED SPECIES. 
The following species which have been credited to our country have not been 
recognized with certainty; some of them probably do not belong to the present 
genus, while a few were evidently founded on badly rubbed specimens in which the 
distinctive characters were therefore wanting: 
annulimanus v.d. Wulp. I strongly suspect that this does not belong to the present 
genus; the description applies fairly well to the male of Culex consobrinus Desv. 
ferruginosus Wied. This author proposes this name for the species previously 
described by Say under thename of Culex quinquefasciatus, but the description which 
he gives differs so decidedly from the one published by Say as to give the impression 
that it is founded on a different species. I strongly suspect that the type of ferru- 
ginosusis arubbed example of Anopheles crucians, which was described from the same 
locality. Say’s description of his Culex quinquefasciatus agrees very well with the 
species which I have identified as Culex impiger Walker. 
maculipenms Meigen. I strongly suspect that this European form is identical with 
our Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say, but this point can not be settled definitely at 
present, owing to the lack of any European specimens for comparison with ours. 
nigripes Staeger. This European species should be readily recognized by its 
unspotted wings, 
albimanus Wied. Differs from our other species by the snow-white apices of the 
tarsi. 
Anopheles pictus Loew is evidently a synonym of A. crucians Wied. 
Our recognized species of Anopheles and their synonyms may therefore be listed 
as follows, the synonyms indented: 
crucians Wied. punctipennis Say. 
pictus Loew. hiemalis Fitch. 
? ferruginosus Wied. quadrimaculatus Say. 
? maculipennis Meigen.
