Genus Culex . 
335 
joint brown, with a few flat lighter brown scales; palpi dark 
brown, a few white scales at the tips ; proboscis very long, dark 
brown, with a minute white band, at times merely a trace, near 
the middle ; clypeus dark brown ; eyes brown and garnet. 
Thorax dark brown ; prothoracic lobes with light spindle- 
shaped scales; mesonotum sparsely covered with small, slender 
curved golden-brown scales on the sides, the median portion 
partly denuded, but some dark brown spindle-shaped scales 
remaining; scutellum dark, with light, slender curved scales; 
pleura dark brown, with numerous small patches of flat white 
scales ; metanotum dark brown. 
Abdomen dark, covered with dark brown scales ; very narrow 
basal white bands, and small basal white lateral spots ; venter 
mostly white scaled. 
Legs : coxae and trochanters dark, with light scales; femora 
dark brown dorsally, almost white ventrally, more markedly so 
on the hind legs ; tibiae brown, as are all the remaining joints, 
but on the hind legs the metatarsi, the first, second, third and 
sometimes the fourth tarsal joints have minute basal white spots, 
not amounting to bands ■ on the mid legs the spots appear on the 
metatarsi, first and second tarsal joints, and on the fore legs 
there are minute yellowish spots at the tips of the tibiae, and 
base and apex of the metatarsi, the remaining joints being brown 
Fore and mid ungues uniserrate. 
Wings brown, with brown scales; . cells rather short; the 
first sub-marginal a little longer and narrower than the second 
posterior cell, the stem of each about two-thirds as long as the 
cells, the bases nearly in a line • the cross-veins are all nearly 
the same length, mid and supernumerary meet, and the posterior 
cross-vein is distant about its own length from the mid ; halteres 
have light stem and fuscous knob. 
The male greatly resembles the female; the palpi are long, 
with golden-brown plumes, and four narrow white bands ; fore 
and mid ungues biserrate. 
Length .—3 • 5 to 4 mm. 
Taken Aug. 15, 1905. 
Habitat .—San Juan, Porto Rico. 
Described from several specimens sent by Dr. L. G. de 
Quevada, Surg. U.S.A., which were taken at the Quarantine 
Station, Yellow Fever Hospital and Quarters ; it at first glance 
suggests G. taeniorhynchus minus tbp hind legs, and probably lies 
near that, but is evidently distinct.”
