Sup-Faminy ANOPHELINA. 
THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANOPHELINA. 
The genus Anopheles, founded by Meigen in 1818, has now 
grown to a considerable size, about seventy-six species being known. 
Some of these present very close structural features, others very 
diverse ones. The genus asit previously stood had become somewhat 
unwieldy like Culex, and as there is seen to be such a diversity 
of characters in these Culices, which have long palpi in both 
sexes, | have divided them up into several genera. There is a 
very great difference, for instance, between A. maculipennis and 
C. Pharoensis, between C. argyrotarsis and M. Rossi; the 
differences, in fact, are quite as great as between Mansonia and 
Culex or Sabethes and Acdes. 
In the classification of the Anophelina, I have found, just 
* The 9 Aedes (s. re) has 5-jointed palpi. 
+ There are exceptions to this (i.e., S. albiprivus).
