NOTES ON THE DIFFERENT GENERA. 

 Sub-family. Anophelina. 



The following Anophelines have been recorded as malaria 

 carriers : 



* Anopheles maculipennis, Meigen. 

 Anopheles bifurcatus, Linnaeus. 



* Myzomyia funesta, Giles. 

 Myzomyia lutzii^ Theobald. 



* Myzomyia rossii, Giles. 

 Myzomyia listonii, Listen. 

 Myzomyia culicifacies, Giles. 

 Pyretophorus superpictus, Grassi. 



* Pyretophorus costalis, Loew. 

 Pyretophorus chaudoyei, Theobald. 



*Cellia argyrotarsis, Robineau Desvoidy. 

 Myzorhynchus pseudopicttis, Grassi. 

 Myzorhynchus barbirostris, Van der Wulp. 

 Myzorhynchus sinensis, Wiedemann. 

 Myzorhynchus paludis, Theobald. 

 Myzorhynchus mauritianus, Grandpre. 

 Neocellia stephensii, Listen. 

 Neocellia ivillmori, James. 

 Nyssorhynchus theobaldii, Giles. 

 Nyssorhynchus fuliginosus, Giles. 

 Nyssorhynchus annulipes, Walker. 



Those marked with an asterisk (*) also carry the larvae of Filaria bancrofti, as 

 also do Myzorhynchus minutus, Theobald, and Myzorhynchus nigerrimus, Giles^ 



Genus. Anopheles, Meigen. 



" Syst. Beschr. Europ. zwei. Ins. I," 1818, ii, p. 2, Meigen ; "Mono. Culicid.," 

 1903, i, p. 191 ; iii, p. 17 ; and 1910, v, p. 3, Theobald. 



This genus contains a few large species found either in temperate climates or 

 in hills and mountains of warm climates. The type is the European and North 

 American A. maculipennis. 



FIG. 399. Wing of Anopheles inaculipennis, Meigen. 



A. maculipennis, Meigen. This species and A. bifurcatus are malaria carriers. 

 True Anopheles only occur in Europe, North America, the North of Africa and in 

 the mountains of India, and one has been found by Bancroft similar to A. bifur- 

 catus in Queensland. They are easily told by the absence of scales on thorax 

 and abdomen, and by the rather densely scaled wings with lanceolate scales.
