Genus Myzomyia 
To this genus belong those species which are 
associated in the tropics with the most severe endemic 
malaria, e.g., M. funesta in Africa and M. listoni and 
M. culicifacies in India. The group includes, how¬ 
ever, several species, one at least of which has, as far 
as our knowledge extends, no power of transmitting 
malaria in nature, viz., M. rossi.
