A Monograph of Culicidae. 
10. Culex penetkans. R. Desvoidy (1827). 
(Essai sur les Culic., Mem. de la Soc. Nat. Hist, de Paris (1827).) 
This evidently resembles C. annulatus, but differs in the $ 
palpi being more filiform and the antennae shorter and more 
plumose. 
It was described from France and has not since been noted, 
but is undoubtedly a distinct species. 
II.—WINGS UNSPOTTED. 
a. Legs banded, 
(3. Proboscis banded. 
The following species constitute the banded-proboscis section 
of the genus Culex. Most of them seem very closely related and 
form a very natural group, but, except for the banding of the 
proboscis and their general appearance, I cannot see any 
character of such importance as would entitle their removal 
from Culex even to a sub-genus.
