Extract

Among the mosquitoes lately sent from the various Army Stations are the following, of interest mostly because of their apparent close relation to already known forms:

Uranotœnia cœruleocephala, Theob., var. lateralis, n. var.— ♀. Head covered with flat blue scales, becoming white around the eyes, a couple of brown bristles between, and a few around, the eyes, no fork scales; the scales on the occiput change from a dark indigo or violet to a light blue, according to the direction of the light, and when viewed from the side may even seem brown with a wide white border around the eyes, but in other positions are some shade of blue; antenn♀ brown, verticels and pubescence brown, basal joint light testaceous, with a few thin flat scales; palpi also light brown, very short, hardly longer than the depth of the clypeus, the last joint reduced to a knob; proboscis dark brown, swollen at the tip; clypeus testaceous; eyes brown and silver.
