ANOPHELES CRUCIANS 1023 



Marta, Colombia, February, 1913 (J. H. Egbert) ; Verrugas Canon, Peru, 

 July 9, 1913 (C. H. T. Townsend) ; San Bartolome, Peru, April 16, 1913 (C. 

 H. T. Townsend). Eeported also from Grenada [? Nicaragua] (Theobald) ; 

 Vera Cruz, Mexico (Parker, Beyer & Pothier) ; Oak Creek Canyon and Bill 

 Williams Fork, Arizona (C. F. Adams) ; Huacachina, San Pedro de Lloc, Lima 

 and Chanchamayo, Peru (Tamayo & Garcia) ; Provinces of Jujuy, Salta, Tucu- 

 man and Santiago del Estero, Argentina (Brethes). 



Anopheles pseudopunctipennis was first described from a specimen said to 

 come from Grenada. This record has been generally supposed to refer to the 

 West Indian island ol that name, but we have received no specimens from the 

 Antilles nor have they been reported by others and we are forced to believe that 

 it does not occur there. We think it highly probable that Theobald's speci- 

 men came from Grenada in Nicaragua. Anopheles franciscaniis differs slightly, 

 the fourth vein being dark scaled (plate 41, fig. 13), whereas it is whitish before 

 the fork in typical pseudopunctipennis (plate 41, fig. 18). This form {fran- 

 ciscanns) is the usual one in the northern part of the range of the species, but 

 it is gradually evanescent in more southern localities. We have seen many speci- 

 mens which are intermediate in this respect and have intergradient specimens 

 from the same rearings in Panama. We are satisfied that the difference, so far 

 as it exists, is not of specific value, but only a slight variation.
