Description:
Dr P. Wagenaar Hummelinck entrusted me with the identification of the mosquitoes he collected during his trips to the West Indies in 1936\xe2\x80\x941937 and 1948\xe2\x80\x941949. Although dr Hummelinck told me that it was not his intention to catch representative material, the present collection is of particular hygienic and biological interest as some mosquitoes were found on islands from which they had not been reported before.\nThis paper deals with 16 species: Wyeomyia celaenocephala \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Anopheles pseudopunctipennis pseudopunctipennis \xe2\x80\x94 Margarita, Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Aruba, Anopheles albimanus \xe2\x80\x94 St. Martin, A\xc3\xabdes taeniorhynchus \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Saba, Dog Island, A\xc3\xabdes aegypti \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Aruba, St. Barth\xc3\xa9lemy, St. Martin, Haemagogus anastasionis \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Aruba, Psorophora confinnis \xe2\x80\x94 Bonaire, Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Psorophora pygmaea \xe2\x80\x94 St. Martin, Deinocerites cancer \xe2\x80\x94 St. Martin, Culex erraticus \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Culex americanus \xe2\x80\x94 St. Eustatius, St. Martin, Culex bahamensis \xe2\x80\x94 St. Eustatius, St. Barth\xc3\xa9lemy, St. Martin, Culex maracayensis \xe2\x80\x94 Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Culex chrysonotum \xe2\x80\x94 Suriname at Zanderij, Culex coronator \xe2\x80\x94 Venezuela near La Guaira, Culex nigripalpus \xe2\x80\x94 Bahamas, on South Bimini, and Culex quinquefasciatus \xe2\x80\x94 Bonaire, Cura\xc3\xa7ao, Aruba, St. Eustatius, St. Martin.
