CHARACTERS OF SUB-FAMILIES. 



Sub-family Anophelinae. Theobald. 



In this sub-family the scutellum is simple, never trilobed ; 

 the palpi are long in $ and 9 > an( ^ ^ ne larvae have no 

 respiratory siphon. The head never has flat lateral scales. 



The genera may easily be told by the squamose characters 

 of head, thorax, abdomen and wings, etc.
