316 THE MOSQUITOES 



right forked scales. Laterally, flat scales. C. fatigans supposed to carry dengue 

 as well as Filaria bancrofti. It also transmits Proteosoma of birds, the life history 

 of which in this mosquito paved the way to the epochal discoveries in connection 

 with malarial transmission by anophelines. This is a brown mosquito with pale 

 yellow banding of each abdominal segment. The legs are brown except for the 

 coxae and femora. 



Theobaldia. These Culicinas have spotted wings resembling Anophelmas. 

 These spots are due to aggregations of scales, not to dark scales. Male palps are 

 clubbed (like Anopheles). 



Mucidus. This genus has a mouldy look from long twisted gray scales. The 

 legs are densely scaled. 



Mansonia. This genus is characterized by broad flat asymmetrical wing scales. 

 As the wing scales are brown and yellow the wings are mottled. 



Grabhamia. Wings have pepper-and-salt appearance with short fork cells. 



Taniorhynchus. This genus is characterized by dense wing scales, which are 

 broadly elongated with truncated apex. 



Acartomyia. Much like Grabhamia, but scales of head give ragged appearance. 

 Male palpi clubbed. 



A. zammittii was supposed to be concerned in Malta fever, but it is now known 

 that transmission is by medium of milk of infected goats.
