Made in the United States of America A NOTE ON AEDES AUROTAENIATUS EDWARDS

ABSTRACT-Aedes (Stegomyia) aurotaeniatus Edwards is transferred to the subgenus Paraedes Edwards. The female is redescribed and the male and pupa described for the first time. Banks (1906) placed this species in the genus Stegomyia and Ed-wards ( 1922, 1932), Knight & Hull ( 1952)) and Mattingly ( 1965) con-sidered it as belonging to the subgenus Stegomyia. Only the female has been described and its taxonomic position has long been a matter of doubt. Fortunately, males were collected during the SEAMP field trip to the Philippines in 1969 and it can now be said with certainty that it is not a Stegomyiu. It shows a rather close resemblance to Paraedes and therefore, I am placing it in this subgenus for the present
