Culex restuans

Culex restuans is identified by its abdomen which has straight pale-scaled basal bands, with the band on tergum VII slightly curved on the sides.
 
 


Culex restuans also has unbanded hindtarsomeres.  Unlike the Culex tarsalis, the Culex restuans does not have a banded proboscis.
 
 


Some, but not all, Culex restuans  have two white or silvery dots on their scutum.
