synoptic table, and the species are separated on characters that have

GENERA AND SPECIES FOUND IN THE 

 SOUTHEASTERN STATES 



The mosquitoes found in the Southeastern States, together with 

 their distribution and status as to prevalence and economic import- 

 ance, are listed in table 1. The information has been compiled from 

 records in the literature, principally the comprehensive works of 

 Howard, Dyar, and Knab (68) x and Dyar (Ifi, £7), and from collec- 

 tions of the present writers. The 62 species (1 of which, Anopheles 

 crucians, has 2 forms) for which we have definite records include 

 representatives of each of the North American genera. The group 

 is a fairly natural one, as most of the species are either restricted, 

 in the United States, to the South or reach their greatest abundance 

 there.
