Abstract

ABSTRACT. We researched peculiarities in the structure of the head and its appendages in females of 75 species of the mosquito fauna of the USSR. We discovered characters which permit the genera, subgenera, and, in some cases, the species of mosquitoes to be distinguished by microscopic preparations of the head. A concise description of the taxonomic characters is presented here, as well as a description of the genera.
