Genus Culex . 5 
Habitat .—De Grassi Point, Lake Simcoe, Ontario (E. M. 
Walker) (66). 
Time of capture .—June and J uly. 
Observations. —A very distinct species, in which the legs are 
very characteristically marked, the last tarsal joint of the hind 
legs being entirely dull white and the banding of the legs 
involving both sides of the joints. The dusky scaled abdomen, 
with the creamy-white basal lateral patches, is also very charac¬ 
teristic. It can thus be easily separated from any other North 
American species. A single male only was received, but a 
good series of 9’ s * The specimens were taken in such localities 
as the following: “ From a low wood of arbor vitae, spruce, 
balsam, fir, Ac. ” ; “ common in rich woods and swamps ” ; also 
from dry and low woods and grass ; grass and low herbs in a 
wood of aspen, maple, balsam, &c., according to the notes sent 
by the collector.
