tergite, three- to six-branched; 1 fairly long, 
two- to four-forked from proximal third; 2 
short, three- to six-branched; 3 represented only 
by its socket; 4 fairly long, two- to five-forked 
from near base or higher; c' fairly long, two- to 
three-branched or simple. 
Segment IV: A minute; B long, three- to five- 
branched; C long, about length of tergite, simple 
or two- to three -branched; c' medium, three- 
to four-branched; 1 long, simple or occasionally 
two- to three-forked from middle; 2 short, two- 
to seven-forked from proximal one-half; 3 rep- 
resented only by its socket; 4 fairly long, simple 
or two- to three-branched. 
Segment V: A long, curved, tapered to a fine 
point, about one-third length of tergite; B long, 
simple or bifurcated; C long, simple or occa- 
sionally with one side branch; c' fairly long, 
two- to three-branched or occasionally simple; 
1 long, simple or two-branched; 2 medium, two- 
to four-branched; 3 represented only by its 
socket; 4 fairly long, simple or two-branched. 
Segment VI: A similar to A-V but a little longer; 
B long, commonly with two unequal branches 
from proximal one-fourth, or simple with one 
to two fine side branches, about two-thirds 
length of tergite; c long, longer than tergite, 
generally simple, occasionally with two unequal 
branches about middle, or with one side branch; 
c' medium, one-third to one-half of C, two- 
branched or occasionally simple or three - 
branched; 1 long, two-forked from middle 
one-third, occasionally three-forked or simple; 
2 slightly shorter, simple or two-branched, oc- 
casionally three-branched; 3 absent; 4 fairly 
long, simple or two-branched. 
Segment VII: A long, curved, tapered to a fine 
point, a little less than half of tergite in length; 
B long, simple or with one to two small side 
branches; C long, slightly longer than tergite, 
generally simple but may be bifurcate or have 
a fine side branch; c' short, two- to three- 
branched, occasionally simple; 1 short, two- to 
three-branched or simple; 2 slightly longer, 
simple or two-forked from middle one-third; 4 
medium, two-branched or simple. 
Segment VIII: A long, stalk about one-third 
total length, with seven to fifteen stout branches, 
three to five being terminal; A* fairly long, two- 
to three-branched, occasionally simple; 5 mi- 
nute, simple. 
Paddle: Base of lateral margin with small 
pointed teeth, distally their apices taper into 
hairs which form a fringe extending a short 
distance around the apex to the medial margin; 
midrib stout, not reaching accessory seta; ter- 
minal seta long, hook-like; accessory seta fairly 
short, two- to three-branched, well removed 
from apex of paddle. 
Anopheles (Myzomyia) subpictus subpictus 
Grassi 1899 
Fig- 7 
This pupa was fully described by Senevet 
(1931: 38) from Kasauli, India. The figure 
and the description which follow have been 
taken from Senevet’s paper. 
Diagnosis. — Together with A. karwari the 
pupa of this species is set apart from all other 
anophelines known from New Guinea by the 
denticulated lateral margin of the paddle, the 
long seta A-IV, and the long hooked terminal 
seta on the paddle. From karwari it can be 
distinguished by the length of seta A-VI which 
is more than twice as long as A-V in subpictus 
while it is no more than a third longer than 
A-V in karwari. 
Cephalothorax. — Metanotum: 10 long, 
strong, bifurcate; 11 medium, very fine, three- 
branched; 12 long, three- forked. 
Abdomen .— Segment I: h medium, simple; 
K medium, four-branched; L short, five- to six- 
branched; M fairly long, three-branched; S me- 
dium, three- to four -branched; T and U long, 
simple. 
Segment II: A minute; B fairly long, simple; 
C with central short stem bearing three to four 
branches on each side, about one-half the length 
of the segment; c' medium, three- to four- 
branched near apex; 1 fairly long, simple; 2 
medium, three- or four-branched; 3 medium, 
three- to four-branched; 4 fairly long, five- to 
six-branched; 5 short, simple.
