Extract

Examination of the types of some species of Aedes has shown that a number of them have been misidentified by later workers. Certain changes of names are unfortunately necessary; these are indicated below. Notes on a few types not involved in this synonymy are included. Descriptions of two new species are also given–one of these has been frequently recorded and described in the literature under the name Aedes impiger (walk.); the other has not previously been described.
