Abstract
Pale-banded variants of Culex territans Walker larvae were found in southern New Jersey in 2016 and in subsequent years. The larvae lacked pigmentation on the prothoracic and mesothoracic segments as well as on abdominal segment (IV). The amount of pigmentation varied between populations. Specimens were found in six locations within a 5-yr period; of which, two locations recurred within the same season and in subsequent seasons. This is the first report in the State of New Jersey despite extensive larval surveillance over many years among the study area.
