Abstract

Two species of mosquito, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) impiger (Walk.) and A. (O.) nigripes (Zett.), occur at Lake Hazen, northern Ellesmere Island1. This arctic site (71° 18′ W., 81° 49′ N.), where the Canada Department of Agriculture has conducted entomological studies in 1962 and 1963, lies within 100 miles of Alert, the most northerly locality at which mosquitoes are known to exist in Canada2. Two findings concerning the mosquitoes at Lake Hazen are described here ; unless otherwise specified all remarks refer to both aforementioned species.
