confirmed this opinion after comparing Florida specimens with 
fulvus and related species from South America. 
AEDES STIMULANS. (Walk.) 
(Syn., variety mississippi Dyar, Culicada subcantans Felt) 
This is a northern forest species which has been recorded once from 
Mississippi (Electric Mills). These specimens were named 4. stim- 
ulans mississippi by Dyar (49), but the variety was later placed as 
a synonym of the type form. Ochlerotatus subcantans, reported 
from Baton Rouge, La., by Mitchell (727), was probably Aedes 
VELANS. 
AEDES GROSSBECKI D. and K. 
(Syn., Culex squamiger Smith (not Coq.), C. sylvicola Gros.) 
This is a rare northeastern species that has been recorded from 
two localities in Mississippi (Natchez and Scott). Dupree’s (48) 
Culex squamiger and Mitchell’s Lepidoplatys sylvicola, reported 
from Baton Rouge, La. (127), may have been this species. A speci- 
men of Aedes grossbecki was collected by E. B. Johnson at Monroe, 
La., in 1939, and the identification was confirmed by the present 
writers. The adults are of rather striking appearance, with patches 
of white on the sides of the mesonotum, a mixture of black and white 
scales on the legs and wings, and wide tarsal bands. The writers 
are not familiar with the larva. 
AEDES STICTICUS (Meig.) 
(Syn., Culex pretans Gros., Aedes hirsuteron (Theob.) ) 
This species, previously known in the United States as Aedes 
hirsuteron, has been recorded in the Southeast from Lee County, 
Ga. (134), Rives and Memphis, Tenn., and Scott, Ark. (50), Wilson 
Dam, Florence, and Huntsville, Ala. (136), and Bladen County, 
N. C. (D. F. Ashton, March 1939). The writers have examined a 
specimen, probably of this species, from Monroe, La. (EK. B. Johnson, 
collector, March 1939), and have a specimen from Tallahassee, Fla. 
Ochlerotatus pretans, reported from Baton Rouge, La., by Mitchell 
(127), may have been stictzcus, or perhaps thibaulti. Edwards (53) 
places hirsuteron as a synonym of sticticus. 
AEDES TRIVITTATUS (Cogq.) 
This is a northern species that has been recorded from Georgia 
(734) and Louisiana (5/). 
AEDES ATROPALPUS (Cogq.) 
This species has been recorded in the Southeast from North Caro- 
lina (57), Kinzel Springs and Knoxville, Tenn. (736), and Petit Jean 
Mountains, Ark. (47). Breeding occurs normally in rock holes, but 
Shields (736) find the larvae on one occasion in an abandoned septic 
tank at ase ille, Tenn.
