leaflets terminate rather suddenly in a number of 

 jagged points or notches, whilst the central portion 

 continues as a more or less fine filament.

The following types of leaflets are known : 



1. The leaflets are unbrokenly lanceolate in 

 shape, with saw-like notches along the edge of the 

 outer half. There is no distinct terminal filament. 



M. sinensis 

 M. barbirostris 



2. The filament is long and filamentous. 



M. rossi 



M. culicifacies 



M. listoni 



N. fuliginosus 



Further differences are seen in the case of most 

 of the above species. In M. rossi the filament is as 

 long as the leaflet, and there is scarcely any notching 

 where the two join. In N. theobaldi, the notching is 

 well marked (Fig. 66).
