eastern States except South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. 

 Edwards (43) considers this species distinct from the tropical fulvus 

 Wied., to which Dyar (41) assigned it. 



AEDES STIMULANS (Walk.) 



(Syn., variety mississippii Dyar, Culicada sutcantans Felt) 



This is a northern forest species which has been recorded once from 

 Mississippi (Electric Mills). These specimens were named A. stim- 

 ulans mississippii by Dyar (39) , but the variety was later placed as 

 a synonym of the type form. chlerotatus subcantans, reported 

 from Baton Kouge, La., by Mitchell (102), was probably Aedes 

 vexans. 



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 (38) 

 Culex squamiger and Mitchell's Lepidoplatys sylvicola, reported 

 from Baton Rouge, La. (102), may have been this species. 



AEDES STICTICUS (Meig.) 

 (Syn., Culex pretans Gros., Aedes hirsuteron (Theob.) 



This species has been recorded from Georgia (109), Tennessee, 

 and Arkansas (40), and the writers have one female from Tallahas- 

 see, Fla., which, although in poor condition, is evidently Aedes stic- 

 ticus. O chlerotatus pretans, reported from Baton Rouge, La., by 

 Mitchell (102), may have been sticticus, or perhaps thibaulti. Ed- 

 wards (43) places hirsuteron as a synoym of sticticus. 



AEDES TRIVITTATUS (Coq.) 



This is a northern species that has been recorded from Georgia 

 (109) and Louisiana (4-1)- 



AEDES ATROPALPUS (Coq.) 



There is one record of this species for the Southeast, from North 

 Carolina (Ifl)* 



AEDES CINEREUS Meig. 

 (Syn., A. fuscus O.-S., etc.) 



This is a comparatively rare northern species that has been re- 

 corded from Arkansas, where it was said to be abundant but a non- 

 biter (114)- Dupree's identification of Aedes fuscus from Baton 

 Rouge, La., may have been correct, although the species was not 

 taken by the present writers at Mound or New Orleans. Specimens 

 identified as fuscus by Beyer (10) and others in New Orleans were 

 undoubtedly Uranotaenia lowii. A peculiar character of this species 

 is that both the male and the female have short palpi. 



AEDES NIGROMACULIS (Ludl.) 



Aedes nigromaculis belongs to the arid western regions, and its 

 occurrence in Louisiana reported by Dyar (41, p. 216) is questionable 

 if the identification was based on the distinguishing character as 



6 Since the preparation of this manuscript, records have been obtained for Tennessee 

 (S. E. Shields) and Arkansas (S. J. Carpenter).
