Genus Culex. 
143 
Habitat. —Toronto, Ontario, Canada (E. M. Walker) (66). 
Time of capture. —June. 
Observations .—Very closely related to C. pipiens, but I think 
distinct. It differs in the basal banding of the abdomen being 
uniform, and not curved; in the presence of very plain white 
lateral spots; in the yellower tinge of the whole body, and 
especially in the deep golden-brown thoracic scales and paler 
ornamentation. 
A single 9 only received, taken on a window-pane. 
I do not know if Walker described this species; I can find 
no record of it. A specimen is so named in the old Museum 
collection by Walker, and, as it is certainly distinct, and a fresh 
specimen has come to hand, I retain his name.
