Generic notes in Anophelini. 



Anopheles, Mg. A natural and easily recognized genus, of 

 which no criticism is necessary. 



None of the following proposed genera can be accorded generic 

 rank, and from the feeble lines of demarcation between most of 

 them they cannot be regarded systematicall}^ as even subgenera. 

 No special sequence is adopted in listing them here.

Bironella, Theob, 

 Dactylomyia, Newstead and
