Extract

Aedes melanimon was described by Dyar (1924) from specimens collected at Bakersfield, California, as closely resembling Aedes dorsalis (Meigen) but differing in color, wing-scale pattern, and in the male genitalia. Freeborn (1926) considered A. melanimon to be an “aberrant form” or “race” of A. dorsalis. Two species closely related to A. dorsalis are the American Aedes campestris Dyar and Knab, and Aedes caspius (Pallas) of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
