Mosquitoes of New Guinea — Penn 
9 
Using Macfie’s work as a basis, in Table 1 
I have attempted to homologize as far as pos- 
sible the various modifications of the system 
of classifying the dorsal abdominal setae which 
have been presented in the literature, and the 
slightly modified system used in this study.

* These setae are not actually designated by Macfie., but 
their possible homologies to those of the following segments 
are so indicated. 
f Seta 3 not present on segments VI and VII. 
No attempt has been made to utilize the 
ventral abdominal setae in the descriptions, 
hence no comment concerning them is called 
for here. 
SYSTEMATIC TREATMENT 
All of the species recorded in this paper be- 
long to the subfamily Culicinae, as no species 
of the subfamily Chaoborinae have been re- 
corded from New Guinea. However, it is pos- 
sible that the latter have been overlooked and 
a key separating the pupae of the two subfami- 
lies is included. The subfamily key was taken 
with slight change from Edwards (1932: 8). 
The key to genera and subgenera of Culicinae 
is largely original, but based somewhat on a 
key to Ethiopian pupae in Edwards (1941); all 
other keys are original. 
Key to Subfamilies 
1. Paddles fused basally, not movable; spir- 
acle beyond middle of respiratory 
trumpet 
Genus Corethrella of Chaoborinae 
Paddles free, movable 2 
2. Respiratory trumpet either almost closed 
apically or with the spiracle near its 
middle Chaoborinae 
Trumpet open at tip, internal spiracle at 
base Culicinae 
Key to Genera and Subgenera of Culicinae 
1. Paddles relatively small, without setae; 
seta A-VIII as long as or longer than 
the paddles 2 
Paddles relatively large, with or without 
setae; seta A-VIII never as long as the 
paddles ... . 5 
2. Trumpets with inner wall well separated 
from outer wall; seta K-I long, other 
setae on segment I small 
Harpagomyia p. 27. 
Trumpets with inner and outer wall in 
contact; K, S, and T of segment I all 
long 3 
3. Seta B-VII very long, extending well be- 
yond posterior margin of segment 
VIII, usually beyond apex of paddles 
Tripteroides (Tripteroides) p. 25. 
Seta B-VII at most extending to about 
middle of segment VIII, usually much 
shorter 4
