Culex tarsalis

Mosquitoes of the Culex tarsalis species have a distinct ring around the proboscis.

They also have apical and basal tarsal bands.
 
 

Cx. tarsalis possess two silver dots on its scutum.  Also notice the silver lines extending from the abdomen.  (Remember, Cx. restuans also has dots on its back, make sure you look for the banded legs and proboscis to differentiate between the two.)

 
 

Here is a different view of the Culex tarsalis showing the banded proboscis and banded legs.
