leaflets terminate rather suddenly in a number of 
jagged points or notches, whilst the central portion 
continues as a more or less fine filament.

The following types of leaflets are known :— 
1. The leaflets are unbrokenly lanceolate in 
shape, with saw-like notches along the edge of the 
outer half. There is no distinct terminal filament. 
M. sinensis 
M. barbirostris 
2. The filament is long and filamentous. 
M. rossi 
M. culicifacies 
M. listoni 
N. fuliginosus 
Further differences are seen in the case of most 
of the above species. In M. rossi the filament is as 
long as the leaflet, and there is scarcely any notching 
where the two join. In N. theobaldi , the notching is 
well marked (Fig. 66).
