SYNOPTIC TABLE 
OF 
SUB-FAMILIES AND GENERA OF THE 
Family CULICIDAE. 
Section A.—Proboscis furmecl for piercing ; metanotum nude, 
a. Palpi long in the d . 
a. Palpi long in both sexes, about as long as the pro¬ 
boscis, terminal joints spatulate or clubbed in ; 
1 st sub-marginal cell as long or longer than the 2 nd 
posterior cell .sub-family Anophelina 
Wings usually spotted.Genus 1 Anopheles 
(3. Palpi long in , shorter in $ ; 1 st sub-marginal cell 
very small, much smaller than 2 nd posterior cell; 
proboscis long, bent .sub-family Megarhtnina 
Palpi 5-jointed in 5 .Genus 2 Megarhinus 
Palpi 3-jointed in ? (short) .Genus 3 Toxorhynchites 
7 . Palpi short in $ , long in $ ; 1st sub-marginal cell as 
long or longer than the 2 nd posterior cell . 
sub-family Culicina 
77 . Legs more or less densely scaled. 
Mid cross-vein of wing nearer apex of wing than 
supernumerary ; posterior cross-vein nearer 
apex than mid cross-vein ; 3rd long vein carried 
into basal cell...Genus 4 Sabethes* 
Cross-veins as in Culex; scales of crown and occiput 
broadly spindle-shaped; hind legs densely 
scaled .Genus 5 Janthinosoma 
Posterior cross-vein nearer base of wing than 
mid cross-vein; wings with thin scales; all 
legs densely scaled .Genus 6 Psorophora 
Posterior cross-vein nearer apex of wing than 
mid cross-vein; wings with large pyriform 
parti-coloured scales.Genus 7 Mucidus 
* This genus has to be removed to Section B, as the metanotum has 
chaetae, and the palpi are short in both sexes.
