Some of the Culex addicted to crab-holes have developed 

 elongated antennal joints, on which genera and even higher 

 groups have been founded. From the point of view of the 

 genitalia, this appears to be an over- valuation. However, 

 there are some good larval characters, and Deinocerites may- 

 be conveniently considered a genus. But I do not think that 

 Dinomimetes and Dinanamesus will hold.
