Abstract

ABSTRACT. Evidence is presented that the type of Anopheles indiensis Theobald 1901. is lost or non-extant, with no other specimens known; and, that indiensis sensu Reid (1953, 1968) does not occur in Madras, India, the type locality of indiensis Theobald. Accordingly, indiensis Theobald is synonymized under nigerrimus Giles 1900, and nitidus n. sp., is described for indiensis of Reid.
