one or more branches in over 80 per cent of the 
specimens examined; B averages four-branched, 
range from three to six; 4 averages four- 
branched, range from two to six. 
Segment VIII : A a little longer, usually simple, 
occasionally two-branched; a' averages two- 
branched, range from two to three. 
Anopheles (Myzomyia) karwari (James) 
1903 
Fig. 6 
This pupa was fully described and figured 
by Senevet (1932:223) from Cochin-Chine, 
French Indo-China; by Baisas (1936: 74, 212) 
from the Philippine Islands; and by Crawford 
(1938: 89) from near Singapore, Malaya. The 
figure and the following description have been 
taken largely from Crawford’s paper. 
Diagnosis. — Together with A. subpictus 
subpictus the pupa of this species can be dis- 
tinguished from all other known anophelines 
of New Guinea by the following characters: 
seta A-V approximately two or three times as 
long as A-III; terminal paddle seta long and 
hooked, the lateral margin with denticles proxi- 
mal to the fringe of hairs. Seta A-VI is no more 
than a third longer than A-V in karwari , but 
A-VI is more than twice as long as A-V in sub- 
pictus. 
Cephalothorax. — Postocular: 1 medium, 
two- to three-branched; 2 medium, two- to four- 
forked from proximal one-third; 3 medium, 
two- to four-branched. 
Anterothoracic : 4 medium, three- to six- 
branched; 5 medium, two- to six-branched; 6 
fairly long, two- to four-branched; 7 long, two- 
to three-forked from near base or simple. 
Dorsal: 8 fairly short, simple. 
Supra-alar: 9 medium, two- or three-branched. 
Metanotum: 10 fairly long, simple or occasion- 
ally two-forked; 11 fairly short, two- to four- 
forked at proximal fourth; 12 long, two- to 
five-branched near middle. 
Trumpet: Tubular. 
Abdomen. — Segment I: H short, simple; 
K medium, four- to six-branched; L fairly short, 
two- to six-branched; M fairly long, three- to 
four-branched; S fairly long, two- to six- 
branched; T long, two- to three-branched; U 
very short, simple. 
Segment II: A minute, colorless; B medium, 
simple or occasionally two-forked, stout; C fairly 
long, six- to twelve-forked, usually eight- to 
nine-forked from near base and higher; c' short, 
two- to three-branched; 1 fairly long, two- to 
three-branched, rarely simple; 2 about same 
length, three- to seven-branched; 3 short, two- 
to three-branched; 4 long, simple or two- 
branched. 
Segment III: A minute, colorless; B fairly long, 
three- to six-branched; C long, almost equal to 
Fig. 6. Anopheles karwari: dorsal aspect of right 
half of abdomen of male (after Crawford, 1938).
