Mosquitoes of North America (North of Mexico)

By Stanley J. Carpenter, Walter J. Lacasse
Univ of California Pr, 1974

This book has some of the best diagrams of adult female mosquitoes that have been done. Another book out of press and sorely in need of reissue.
This book is a great companion to Darsie and Ward(1) and you usually find photocopies of the plates in evidence wherever adult mosquitoes are identified.
