Eggs of nine species of Aedes are described and illustrated. Material treated includes A. aegypti, atropalpus, mitchellae, sollicitans, taeniorhynchus, cantator, atlanticus, infirmatus, and thibaulti. These descriptions, together with those of seven other Aedes by Horsfall and Craig (1956) and descriptions of seven Psorophora by Horsfall et al. (1952) should allow specific identification of almost all aedine eggs which might be encountered in the southeastern United States. Diagnostic features include size, shape, color, and details of chorionic sculpturing.
