the legs are used to support the body while at rest, with all 

 feet on the resting surface. This species is easily identified 

 by the long hind legs devoid of any white spots or bands, and 

 without white feet. Each joint has a small yellow spot at its 

 union with the following joint, and these spots should not be 

 mistaken for white bands. Another identifying mark of this 

 species is a light gray stripe on the back, or thorax, extending 

 from the head to the abdomen. This begins as a very narrow 

 stripe between the eyes and widens as it extends backwards 

 until the posterior end becomes nearly as wide as the thorax. 

 The palpi are dark brown with two narrow bands and tip of 

 light yellow. The light-colored tip is separated from the 

 proximal light band by a dark band about as wide as the light 

 tip. The palpi somewhat resemble those of A. albimanus in 

 the arrangement of the bands, but there is a difference in their 

 width and A. pscudopunctipennis has light yellow bands while 

 A. albimanus has white. The principal features of A. pscudo- 

 punctipennis are that there are no white markings on the legs, 

 and none of the feet are white. 



Anopheles eiseni. 



The next species to be easily identified is A. eiseni. It is 

 smaller than A. pseudopunctipcnnis and can be differentiated 

 from that species by having a white band near the middle of 

 each hind leg. The feet and middle pair of legs are dark with 

 no white markings. The single broad white band on each hind 

 leg and dark feet makes this mosquito easily separated from 

 all the other species having white feet or spotted legs. The 

 wing borders of this species are dark-colored except for two 

 white spots at the tip, or apex, of the wing. The palpi are 

 dark except for the apical third, which consists of two white 

 bands, or rather one white band and a white tip, separated 

 from each other by a narrow black band one half as wide as 

 either of the white ones. 



Anopheles malefactor ct apicimacula. 



The next group in order of simplicity of identification is 

 composed of those whose legs are covered with narrow white 

 bands and small white spots and have the appearance of being
