Note 243 — LETTER V.
Reading edition
In the Systema Antliatorum (p. 56) Fabricius most strangely considers this insect as synonymous with Culex reptans, L. calling it Scatopse reptans, and dropping his former reference to Pallas, and account of its injurious properties. Meigen (Dipt. i. 294) makes this insect a Simulia under the name of S. maculata.
