212 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Observations.— Described from a series collected by Dr. Grab- 
ham. It comes very near C. scholasticus, Theobald, from the 
West Indies, but the ¢ palpi are hairy and they are not in this 
species and the median long scales over the head again 
separate it. 
It might also be mistaken for Ficalbi’s C. modestus, but the 
abdomen has not scanty yellowish speckling. 
CULEX VIRIDIS. n. sp.

pleurae greenish-grey. Abdomen narrow and constricted at the

pale upright forked scales; palpi, proboscis and antennae deep 
brown.
