Abstract
While the authors were engaged in studies on mosquitoes'in relation to epidemiology of Japanese encephalitis in Okayama Prefecture, western Honshu, a large number of mosquito species belonging to the subgenus Barraudius, genus Culex were collected. By comparative studies with the known species of the subgenus, the present species has been recognized most closely related to Culex B however, it differs in several morphological characters from those de- scribed by previous authors for the nominate form, especially in the structure of appendages on the subapical lobe of male genitalia. A new subspecies, Culex &Bar. raudius& modestus inatomii, is created, and its male, female, pupa and larva are described in this paper. The females of the present subspecies are voracious human biters. The immature stages were found in brackish water.
