* Note. —The term normal used in connection with cross-veins of wing means such a condition as i;§ 
found in the cross-veins of a culex which in the vast number of mosquitoes is the usual position. The mic 
cross vein is in line with the median and the commencement of the posterior cross-vein is always on the 
side of the median nearer the base of the wing.
