Genus Culex. 193 
Habitat.—Shahjahanpur, North-Western Provinces, India 
(Giles). 
Time of capture.—October 20th. 
Observations.—Re-described from Colonel Giles’s type. It isa 
very distinct typical Culex, easily told by the pale line down the 
centre of the abdomen and the basal and minute apical pale 
banding. 
CULEX NIGRIPES. Zetterstedt. 
(Mono. Culicid. IT., p. 93, 1901.) 
Notes on synonymy.—C. incidens, Thomson, is not this species, 
but quite distinct. Probably a good many localities given for 
nigripes (impiger) in America are wrong. It is essentially a 
northern mosquito; nothing like it has occurred in the West 
Indies amongst the large collections I have examined from the 
different islands (vide Howard’s ‘ Mosquitoes,” p. 80). 
The hind ungues of the ? are uniserrated and the thorax 
is adorned in good specimens. The second posterior cell is 
wider than in C. Terriez.
