Anopheles barberi Coq. 
Anopheles barberi Coq., a tree-hole 
breeder, is quite widely distributed in the 
Southern and Eastern States, but because 
of its limited habitat is not commonly 
found. Matheson (1929) states that the 
most northern record of its occurrence is 
Ithaca, N. Y. In its western range it has 
been recorded from eastern Missouri to 
southeastern Texas. Locality records are 
available as follows: 
New York: Ithaca, most northern point (Mathe¬ 
son 1929). 
New Jersey: Bordentown and Chester (J. B. 
Smith, quoted by Headlee 1921). Morris and 
Union Counties (Mulhem 1939). Passaic, Bergen, 
Middlesex and Camden Counties (Mulhern 1940).

D. and K.).

Anopheles crucians Wied. 
The range of Anopheles crucians "Wied. 
is nearly as wide as that of A. quadrimacu- 
latus in the Eastern and Southern States, 
but it is primarily a species of the coastal 
plain and inland is almost always much 
more restricted, both in abundance and in 
local occurrence, than is quadrimaculatus. 
Toward the coast it is frequently the pre¬ 
dominant anopheline and probably reaches 
its greatest abundance in the southern half 
of Florida, where the larvae are commonly 
found in pure culture in the cypress 
swamps and other types of breeding places. 
In the vicinity of salt marshes, unless the 
identifications have been based on larval 
specimens, records may include the similar 
coastal species bradleyi. 
The general distribution of crucians may 
be described as follows: From southern 
New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, 
through the Southeastern States to central 
Texas and Oklahoma, and northward to 
southern Illinois and Kentucky. It has 
also been recorded recently from one iso¬ 
lated locality in New Mexico. No records 
are at hand from Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, 
or West Virginia, although it may occur in 
some of these areas. Outside of the United 
States it is found in Cuba and other islands 
in the Caribbean area, and. on the east coast 
of Mexico. Locality records for the north-
