Abstract

This paper discusses the status of three specimens of Aedes simici Baranov that are in the Canadian National Collection. One male labelled by Baranov as "typus" of this species, and one female labelled as a "cotypus", are shown to have no type-status. The remaining male is an authentic syntype and is designated the lectotype of A. simici. This species is left in synonymy with A. pulchritarsis Rondani.
