DISTRIBUTION. — Southern States: Alabama and Florida (97); Georgia 

 (96) ; Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina (97) . 



BIONOMICS. — Anopheles crucians georgianus cannot at this time be dis- 

 tinguished from A. crucians crucians in the adult stage; therefore nothing is 

 known of the habits of the adults. The larvae occur mostly in seepage pools 

 at the head of small streams and at the bases of hills. 



MEDICAL IMPORTANCE. — No data on its relation to malaria. 



Anopheles (Anopheles) pseudopunctipennis pseudopunctipennis 



Theobald 



Anopheles pseudopunclipennis Theobald, 1901, Mon. Culic, 2:305. 



ADULT FEMALE. — Medium-sized species. Head: Proboscis long, dark; palpi 

 about as long as proboscis, black, with the apices of segments 2, 3 and 4 

 narrowly ringed with white, the base of segment 4 more broadly ringed 

 with white, the terminal segment entirely yellowish-white (Fig. 33D). Occiput 

 clothed with numerous erect forked scales, those on central portion white, 

 the others dark; scales of vertex white; frontal tuft white. Thorax: Integu- 

 ment with a broad longitudinal frosted stripe medially, dark-brown laterally; 

 the frosted area clothed with white or pale yellow hairs, the darker lateral 

 areas with larger dark setae. Abdomen: Integument dark-brown to black, 

 clothed with numerous golden-brown hairs. Legs: Legs dark-scaled, tips of 

 femora and tibiae pale. Wing (Fig. 33E) : Scales black and pale yellow, 

 arranged on the veins in contrasting lines and spots (costa with a pale spot 

 at outer third opposite subcosta; vein 6 with apical half dark, basal half pale; 

 veins 3 and 5 with long areas of pale scales). Halters: Knob of halter dark- 

 scaled. 



ADULT MALE. — Coloration similar to that of female. TERMINALia (Fig. 

 33). Ninth tergite (IX-T) a narrow, sclerotized band; lobes (IXT-L) lat- 

 eral in position, stout, about as long as broad, blunt or obtuse-angulate at 

 tip. Tenth sternite absent; anal lobe (An-L) large, sub-triangular, spiculate. 

 Phallosome (Ph) cylindrical, furcate at base; apex with two or three pairs 

 of slender, curved leaflets (Ph-L) serrated nearly to tips. Claspette broad, 

 fleshly, consisting of a dorsal lobe (Cl-DL) and a ventral lobe (Cl-VL) . 

 Dorsal lobe bearing three overlapping, blade-like filaments on apex; ventral 

 lobe with a long slender spine and a short weak spine apically, and a long, 

 slender spine sub-apically. Basistyle (Bs) conical, about twice as lonq as 

 broad, rounded apically, clothed with long setae; two parabasal spines (P-S) 

 and one internal spine (I-S) present. Dististyle (Ds) a little longer than 

 basistyle and lackinp spicules (minute non-papillated hairs), curved, nar- 

 rower medially, bluntly pointed at tip; terminal claw (Ds-C) short, blunt. 



LARVA (Fig. 34). — Head: Inner clypeal hairs (2) long, simple, with 

 basal tubercles separated by at least the diameter of one of the tubercles; 

 outer clypeal (3) simple, nearly as long as the inner clypeals (2); post-
