A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Note. —There are specimens so labelled in the old collection ; 
they are certainly not this doubtful species however, but 
C. nigripes , Zetterstedt. It is possible that Macquart’s C. parvus 
is the same. 
Culex parvus. Macquart (1834). 
(Nou. Buit. a Buff. Hi&t. Nat. d. Ins. Dipt. tom. i. (1834).) 
“Wings unspotted; tarsi with white lings; for the rest like Culex 
pip tens. 
Length. —2 hues. 
Habitat. —France.” 
Note. —This species had best be denounced, as the description 
is too short to be of any value ; it may be C. Caspius, an equally 
obscure species; the leg banding might identify it. They are 
not unlikely both immature Culex pipiens. 
Culex Nicaensis. Leach. 
(Zool. Journ. ii. 292, 2, Leach.) 
“ Head and thorax dark brown; legs cinereous, with tarsi grey ringed; 
abdomen dark brown, all the segments bordered behind with cinereous. 
Length. —10 mm. 
Habitat.— Nice; common.” 
Note. —Not noticed by Ficalbi or any recent observer, the 
type apparently not existing. Walker considered it a synonym 
of C. calopus, but the description does not bear any resemblance 
to that species, which is S. fasciata, Fabricius. 
Culex annulitarsis. Macquart. 
S. fasciata. Fabricius (?). 
(Dipt. Exotica, Sup. i. p. 8 (1848).) 
“Fuscous; tibae white ringed; hinder metatarsi whitish, with" fuscous 
rings. 
Length. —2 lines ( ? )• 
“ Legs brown; femora with whitish bases, hind tibiae with a large 
white ring at the tip; first hind tarsal joints whitish, with a small brown 
ring. 
Habitat. —Mauritius.”
