Description

FMJ— Full technical description of adult female, male, larvae (IV), and pupa in Howard, Dyar and Knab's "Mosquitoes of North and Central America " pages 95-96.

Egg

Size, 0.17mm x 0.46mm; fusiform , flattened on one side, and with one end decidedly more tapering and acute; surface somewhat polished, at 100x showing only faint sculpturing; in alcohol, brown, the extreme ends darker; fresh material much darker, gun-metal brownish black. (FMJ)

Chestnut brown in color, somewhat chunky, bean shaped, the ends somewhat pointed, the inner margin nearly straight. There is no evident sculpture, yet when first mounted... there seems to be a somewhat irregular tessellated reticulation that disappears later, when the shell becomes more transparent. (Smith)
