Wiedemann, in the original description of Anopheles crucians, confused the 

 species with A. punctipennis, but the type in the museum at Vienna agrees with 

 the species as here considered. Dark colored specimens occur in which the 

 lighter maculations of the wings are very inconspicuous and can only be de- 

 tected by close scrutiny. Such specimens are likely to be mistaken for Anopheles 

 quadrimaculatus, on account of the denser accumulation of black scales at the 

 cross-veins and at the bases of the fork-cells.
