N .B. — Col. Alcock recognizes seven groups — which he regards 

 as sub-genera only — covering all the species of the Anophelinae, 

 which according to him should all be comprised in a single genus. 

 These sub-genera are, Christy a, Arribalzagia, Myzoinyia, Ano- 

 pheles, Myzorhvnchus, Nyssorhynchus and Chagasia. Two quota- 

 tions t;cyJ«^/»i appear advisable: '' P'or the sake of convenience 

 the species that compose the genus may be grouped in sub-genera 

 according to the following table ; but the groups, though they 

 can be defined with sufficient precision, grade into one another." 

 . . . " All these considerations justify the conclusion that 

 the so-called ' genera ' of the proposed ' sub-family ' Anophelinae 

 cannot be separately focussed as distinct generic conceptions, but 

 must all be merged in one gen?ralization." In the .sub-genus 

 Anopheles, Alcock mclwAQS Stethomyia, Theob., Neostethophcles, 

 James, Patagiamyia, James, and Cyclolepidopteron grabhamii.

A. aconita, Don. {aconitus). 



Removed here irova.Mvzomyia by Theobold (Monog., v) saying 

 that Donitz says (Zeits. fur Hygiene, xliii, 233) that A. formosaensis, 

 Tsuzuki, from North For;nosa is only a varietv of aconita, and 

 proposes to change the name (Unnecessarily) to cohaesa. It trans- 

 mits malaria. James and Liston put it in their new genus Neostctho- 

 pheles.

 I am still in doubt as to what is meant by this specific name, 

 not being able to consult the original descriptions. Apparently
