Mosquitoes of Mew Guinea — PENN 
17 
Diagnosis.' — Very similar to A. clowi, to- 
gether with which it can be separated from all 
other species of the punctulatus complex in hav- 
ing seta B-II with thirteen or more branches 
and the dorsal seta (8) of the cephalothorax 
over 105 microns long. The differences between 
punctulatus and clowi as reported by Rozeboom 
and Knight seem to be very minor and may not 
hold when more specimens of clowi have been 
examined. 
Cephalothorax. — - Postocular, anterotho- 
racic and supra-alar setae similar to those in A. 
farauti. 
Dorsal: 8 long, usually more than 105 microns 
in length. 
Metanotum: 10 long, simple; 11 medium, two- 
forked; 12 medium, two-forked. 
Trumpet: Similar to that of A. fcwauti in pro- 
portions, but paler and not offering much con- 
trast to the general color of the cephalothorax.

U small, simple. 
Segment II: A small, stout peg; B long, simple; 
C long, averages eighteen-branched, usually 
more than thirteen but ranging from seven to 
thirty-eight; d small, simple or three- forked; 
1 small, four- or five-forked; 2 long, simple to 
three-forked; 3 medium, three- or four-forked; 
4 long, five- to eight-forked; 5 minute, simple 
on this and all following segments. 
Segment III: A small, slightly longer than A-II; 
B medium, six- to nine-branched; C long, aver- 
ages ten-forked, range from four- to sixteen- 
forked; d medium, simple to three-forked; 1 
medium, two-forked near apex, range from sim- 
ple to five-forked; 2 small, simple or five- 
forked; 3 represented only by its socket; 4 me- 
dium, four- to seven-forked. 
Segment IV: A small, roughly equal to A-III; B 
long, four- or five-branched; c long, four- to 
eight-forked; d medium, four- to six-forked; 
1 medium, simple or two-forked; 2 small, three- 
or four-forked near apex; 3 represented only by 
its socket; 4 medium, five- to six-forked. 
Segment V: A long, approximately four or five 
times as long as A-IV; B long, three- to five- 
forked; C long, two- to four-forked; d medium, 
simple; 1 medium, simple to three-forked; 2 
small, simple to three-forked; 3 represented 
only by its socket; 4 medium, four-forked. 
Segment VI: A longer than A-V; B long, four- 
branched; c long, simple or three-forked; d 
medium, simple; 1 medium, simple or two- 
forked; 2 small, simple; 3 absent; 4 medium, 
three- to five-forked. 
Segment VII: A longer than A- VI, nearly twice 
as long as A-V; B long, two- to five-forked; c 
long, simple; d small, three-forked near apex; 
1 small, simple; 2 small, simple; 4 medium, 
three- to five-forked.
