It breeds in the greatest abund ance in foul, polluted ·water, cesspool s, house sink drains, gutters etc." Ten Other Varieties Then thert- is the anopheles puncti pennis and anopheles quadrimaculatm. the common malaria mosquito. And still another known ·as the culex salinarius, the long-legged mar.sh mosquito. The four different types known as the common and most plentiful standing water breeders are the aed es vexans, aedes excrucians, aedes cin erius, and aedes cantator. .
