Fig. 15 Culex concolor, a portion of the harpes and harpago with the peculiar basal, chitinous processes, much enlarged (Original) nearly right angles. Harpagones enlarged at base, strongly angu- late near the middle and with one very large_ stout, chitinous spine and numerous minor ones. These latter appear much like long, fused, chitinous processes. Unci slen- der, tapering to a broadly rounded apex. Setaceous lobes indeterminate in the preparation. This species is close- ly allied to C. t i g r i - pes Grand., both presenting a most in- teresting stage, show- ing the partial divi- sion of the harpagones. In these two species the main chitinous spur is well marked and the numerous smaller ones at its base are so well divided that it is easy to see the connection between these and the same spurs more strongly developed in such species as C . a n n u - 1 i r o s t r i s Skuse, Culex viridiventer Giles. Genitalia, male. Basal dasp segment very stout, broad, with a broadly rounded apex. Terminal clasp segment rather long, tapering gradually in a double S-shaped curve to an acute apex. This segment is remarkable because of the series of irregular, coarse setae along the middle of the ventral margin. Harpes stout, terminated by a dense series of coarse, chitinous spines, the outer ones blunt, the inner acute. Harpagones rather slender, tapering to an acute tip. Unci approximate, tapering rapidly to an acute tip and remark- able because of the series of stout, chitinous teeth along the middle of the ventral margin and the pair of stout teeth side by side near the base. Setaceous lobes weakly developed and bearing a series of fine, long, curved setae. [PI. 14, fig. i] This species presents remarkable features in the serrations of the terminal clasp seg- ment and the very pronounced ones on the unci, reminding one somewhat
