Aedes (Skusea) cartroni, Ventrillon. View in CoL
Stegomyia cartroni, Ventrillon, Bull. Mus. Paris , xii, p. 14 3 (1906).
This species, which I had not previously seen, evidently belongs to the sub-genus Skusea, although the male is unfortunately unknown. It is very close to S. pembaensis , the type of the subgenus, so close indeed that it may eventually prove to be a variety only. However in all the examples of S. pembaensis received at the British Museum the abdomen is unbanded dorsally, and the scutellar scales are black, while in the few specimens of S. cartroni sent the abdominal segments have narrow pale basal bands, and the few remaining scutellar scales are white.
