Genitalia (plate 39, fig. 359) : Side-pieces less than twice as long as wide, 

 the tips conically rounded ; a stout seta near the middle of the inner margin, and

 slightly attenuated mesially, with a minute terminal claw. Basal appendages 

 leaf-like. Unci with spatulate terminal appendages. 



Larva, Stage IV. — Head elliptical, longer than wide; antennae moderately 

 stout, rather long, finely spinulate, the tuft at basal third; dorsal head-hairs 

 feathered, anterior series with the median pair simple, those on the anterior 

 angles double, each hair divided at tip. Abdomen with five pairs of fan-shaped 

 tufts (plate 130, fig. 458), the single elements lanceolate, the edges on the 

 outer part slightly notched. Lateral plates of eighth segment posteriorly with

Anopheles malefactor much resembles the Brazilian A. pseudomaculipes 

 Peryassli (Os Culic. do Brazil, 108, 1908) in general appearance as well as in the 

 wing-pattern and the other details of coloration. The latter species, of which we 

 have a specimen from Xer6m, State of Eio de Janeiro, kindly transmitted by the 

 Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, differs especially in the shape of the wing-scales, these 

 being larger and much more elongate than in our species.
