Description
Culex laticinctus Edwards, 1913
Edwards, F.W. (1913) Diptera of the Lake ofTiberias. Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (N. S.) 9,48 - 51. Latin, latus = wide; cinctus = girdle
Edwards describes this new species on pages 49 and 50. Under the heading Remarks, he states "This species
comes near C. pipiens , from which, however, it is abundantly distinct by the... broader and whiter abdominal
bands... " Although not alluding to this character specifically, it would appear that this feature was responsible
for Edward's naming of the species. Later, in 1921 in his classic work on the mosquitoes of the Pa1 aearctic
Region (reference given above) he notes "This species differs most markedly from C. pipiens... in the pure
white abdominal bands, which are as broad as or broader than the dark bands which alternate with them." References
