FAM. CULICID

by Fred. V. THEOBALD

WITH 2 COLOURED PLATES

species were known, but owing to the important part they play in the spread of certain

diseases (malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, etc.) great numbers have been collected during

the last few years in all parts of the world.

These great collections have necessitated the formation of many new genera and the employment

of more definite characters for the old genera.

Culicidz are known under a great variety of popular names, such as : Gnats, Mosquitoes, Galli-

nippers, in Anglo-Saxon tongue; Moustiques, Cousin, Maringowin, in France; Zanzare and Zanzaront, in

Italy; in Germany, Stechmiicken ; Zancudos and Mosquitos, in South America; Mutchers, in India, etc.

Linnaeus (1735) merely refers to the genus Culex (Syst. Nat.) and upon this genus with its type

Culex pipiens the family characters are founded.

Meigen, in 1804 (Classs. und Beschr. der Europ. zweifliiglichen Insekten), separated the Mosquitoes off

as Tipularia culiciformes.

Later Latreille (1825) grouped them under the name Culicides, which term was also employed

by Macquart and Zetterstedt. So far only three genera were known, namely Anopheles, Culex and Aedes.

In 1827, Robineau-Desvoidy, in his Essaz suv la tribu des Culicides, added three more genera :

Megarlunus, Sabethes and Psorophora.

Stephens, in 1829 (Syst. Cat. Brit. Ins.), placed these insects in the family Cwulicide and since

that date all Mosquitoes have been included under that name.

The chief writings dealing with Culicide, irrespective of the general works on Diptera are

2 DIPTERA

Robineau Desvoidy’s Essai suy la tribu des Culicides, in 1827; Arribalzaga’s description of Argentine Culicide

in the Dipterologia Argentina (Rev. del Museo de La Plata), in 1891; Ficalbi’s Revizione sistematica della

famiglia delle Culicide Europea, in 1896, and Venti Specie die Zanzare (Culicide) Italiane, in 1899.

Arribalzaga added four new genera, namely Teniorhynchus, Fanthinosoma, Ochlerotatus and Hetero-

nycha. The two latter cannot be retained for reasons mentioned later.

In rg00, Giles published a Handbook of Gnats or Mosquitoes (Culicide) which is mainly a compilation

of the majority of previously described species. The work being of interest however as showing the

. chaotic state of the family at that time.

In 1901, the Trustees of the British Museum published my Monograph of the Culicide of the World

and later, in 1903, a third volume of the same work.

The enormous amount of material collected since tgoo in various parts of the world necessitated

the formation of many new genera described in the last mentioned work. Since 1903 they have been

further augmented. Some new genera are detailed here thus completing our present knowledge with

the exception of those occurring in the collection of the National Museum of Hungary which will shortly

appear in my catalogue of the collection. (Ann. Ungar. Nat. Mus. Vol. 3, 1905.)

The generic characters were previously based on the palpi, the primary genera being distinguished

as follow : Anopheles, palpi long in both sexes; Culex, palpi long in the Go‘, short in the 9 ; Aedes,

palpi short in both sexes.

Robineau Desvoidy’s genera which are all very marked are referred to later and also Arribalzagas.

The characters used in my recent classification are mainly based on the scales of the head, thorax,

abdomen and wings.

In 1903, Neveu-Lemaire proposed a modification of this classification useing also the palpal

jointing for generic purposes, but for obvious raesons the squamose characters which can be seen in

museum specimens with the aid of the microscope have been generally adopted. Jointing of the palpi

can only be see in micro-preparations after the scales have been deunded.

Characters of the Family. — Mouth parts prolonged into a piercing proboscis, composed of

mandibles, maxillae, upper and lower lips and a tubular hypopharynx.

Head clothed with variously formed scales. Thorax with hairs or scales, the metanotum usually

nude but in some genera (Foblotia, Sabethes, etc.), with scales and chaetae or chaetae alone (Wyeomyia,

Phoniomyia, etc.).

Abdomen with either hairs, scales or both. Legs and veins of the wings in all cases clothed with

scales of varied forms. Wings with six longitudinal veins (in one case seven : Heptaphlebomyia), costal

vein carried completely around the border of the wing; two prominent fork-cells (18! submarginal and

and posterior cells). Legs with equal ungues in the Q; in the of the fore and mid ungues unequal,

hind equal.

Antenne in Q usually plumose, but not always (Deiocerites, Sabethes, etc.), in the © pilose. Palpi

variable, in form composed of from one to six segments. The proboscis usually straight (Culex, Anopheles)

but may be curved (Megarhinus, etc.), jointed and elbowed (Limatus) or swollen (Mimomyia). Larvee and

pupze aquatic, living in both salt and fresh water.

Generic Characters. — The following are characters used as generic distinctions, in my

Monograph of the Culicide of the World and in subsequent writings.

Scales. — These structures vary and are the most important characters to be noticed in grouping

this family. They range in form from fine curved hair-like structures to broad flat plates. The following

types of scales may be noticed :

t. Flat or spatulate scales ; 3. Broad Aedeomyia scales ;

2. Broad Mansonia scales; 4. Curved hair-like scales ;

FAM. CULICID# 3

5. Narrow-curved scales; 12. Lanceolate scales;

6. Spindle shaped scales; 13. Linear scales;

7. Small spindle shaped scales; 14. Teniorhynchus-like scales ;

8. Inflated or parti-colored scales; 15. Melanoconion scales ;

g. Pyriform scales; 16. Cycloleppteron scales;

10. Upright forked scales; 17. Heart shaped scales.

rr. Twisted upright scales;

The head is ornamented in a variety of ways with the following scales — upright

forked, flat spatulate, narrow-curved and spindle shaped, according to the genus. The eyes are large

and reniform, the number of facets varying in the different species. (This is a useless character however

as the eyes shrink and become so distorted that the facets cannot be counted.)

The palpi vary very much in form and also in the number of joints not only in different species,

but in the two sexes. They may be composed of one segment only (some Aedines) or of six segments

(some Culicines); there are basal constrictions which sometimes may become joints. All stages in length

occur from those as long or longer than the proboscis to those single jointed ones scarcely perceptable.

It is thus impossible to use them as generic characters particularly as they vary even in the same species

according to Neveu-Lemaire.

The antenne are pilose in the Q in all cases; in the male they are usually plumose, but in some

genera (Sabethes, Deinocerites, Wyecmyia, etc.) they are verticillate; the hairs being rather longer than in

the 6’s. As a rule they are shorter than the proboscis but in one genus (Deznocerites) they are much longer.

The basal segments may or may not be scaled. In one genus (Lophocevataomyia) (1) the antennz in the &

have a curious sensory organ attached to them forming a distinct brush like process. The relative lengths

0 the basal joints is also of specific importance in the Megarhinine,

The froboscis i the Q is composed of an upper and lower lip, the latter ending in the so called

labell@, jointed processes of somewhat variable form. probably the labial palps; these two parts form a

sheath in which lie in the Q four stylets, two being the mandibles and two the maxille, and in addition

a tubular organ the hypopharynx. In the Gf the mandibles and maxilla are much reduced but traces

may be found in certain species. The G’s however do not bite. In form the proboscis is usually straight

and simple as long or longer than the body; it may be curved (Megarhinine), straight (Culicine) or elbowed

and jointed (Limatus). In Uvanotenia it is usually swollen apically and in the allied Mzmomyias much

swollen along its apical half in the male sex.

The thorax is divided into three well defined areas, the greater part being the mesonotum, in front

lie two more a less prominent lateral lobes — the prothoracic lobes — behind this the metanotum and

between it and the mesonotum is situated the scutellum. The scutellum is trilobed in most Culicidee

(Culicines and Aedines) but in the Axophelincs and Corethvines it is simple. All parts are scaly, except in

the Anopheles and Covethrine which may have hairs only on the thorax (Anopheles and Myzomyia). As a

tule the prothorax in Culex is bristly and not scaly, whilst in the Stegomyzas,, etc. distinct scales occur.

In all Anopheling, Megarlinine and most Culicine the metanotum is nude, but in Zoblotia it has scales

and chaetae, as it also has in many Aedines (Sabethes, Limatus, etc.) The scutellum has chaetae bordering

its edge (posterior border-bristles) these may vary in number in the same species (Culex fatigans) or

they may be constant (certain Aedines), they cannot however be relied upon as specific characters.

The abdomen may be nude (Anopheles) or partly scaled (Cellia, Nyssorrhynchus) or completely scaled

(Aldvichia, Culex, etc.), the scales may form a complete armour (Aldvichia, Culex, etc.) or may be loose

and ragged (Mucidus), occassionally there are lateral tufts of scales (Cellia), ventral tufts (Myzorhynchus)

or caudal fans (Megarhinus). The & abdomen is thinner than the Q and is usuaily (Culicines and

(1) The description of this genus will be found in the Annales of the Nat. Mus. Hungary. Vol. 3. 1905.

‘A DIPTERA

Anophelines) very hairy. The && genitalia consist of claspers attached to basal segments which vary in

each species.

The wings have the veins clothed with scales and the posterior border fringed with the same. The

scales vary in different genera. In most genera there are median vein-scales and lateral vein-scales; the

scales may be uniformly colored (Culex pipiens, etc.) or may be mottled (Grabhamia, etc.); in some (Theo-

baldia) they are more dense in certain areas giving the wing a spotted appearance. Most Anophelines

have spotted wings due to different colored scales and also a few Culicines (Lutzia and Culex mimeticus).

There are six longitudinal veins in all save the genus Heftaphlebomyia in which a distinct seventh vein

occurs ornamented with scales. The fork-cells (first submarginal and second posterior) are usually long

(Culex, Anopheles, etc.) but the first submarginal may be very small (Megarhinus, Uranotenia, etc.). The

relative lengths of the cells cannot be taken as of any specific importance as they vary in each species

and even in the specimens from one batch of eggs. The cross-veins most prominent are the supernumerary

mid and posterior, they also vary to a considerable extent in the same species, specially in certain

species (Theobaldia incidens, Culex fatigans, etc.).

Seasonal variation. — The spotting of the wings in the Axophelines has been taken to be

of specific importance. The spots are however variable at all times of the year in certain species. The

greatest variation occurs however at certain definite seasons, so that we get well marked seasonal

variations and. dark and light varieties. It is probable that some recently instituted species will thus have

to be sunk as seasonal varieties.

The legs are usually simple, but in some genera may be provided with outstanding scales giving

them a ragged appearance (Psorophora, Mucidus) a brush-like appearance (Fanthinosoma), or they may

be provided with paddle-like groups of hairs (Sabethes, Evetmapodites). The ungues in the Q’s are equal in

size, they may be simple or uni-serrated, in the G’s those of the fore and mid-legs are unequal and may

or may not be simple or serrated, when the latter, uni-serrated or bi-serrated and a few cases tri-serrated

(Anophelines).

Larval and pupal characters. — The species which present such close affinities that they

cannot be separated with any degree of certainty may often be clearly defined by an examination of the

larvee or pupe.

In the Anophelines the frontal hairs of the larvee form the most useful character for differentiation ;

in the Culicines the grouping of the spines on the spine area:at the base of the siphon. In regards

to the pupe the form of the siphons is the most important character, but does not vary much in species

although generically it is of great use (1).

The eggs of Culicide also present great variation. Some are laid singly (Stegomyia), others singly

but afterwards floating together in some definite form (Anophelines) ; in Culex, etc. they are laid in masses

or rafts. They also vary in form some being spindle shaped (Stegomyia, Grabhamia), others bottle shaped

Taentorhynchus), some with long thin necks (Mansonia).

Notes on the classification. — The characters of the three primary genera (Anopheles, Culex

and Aedes) are now taken as subfamily characters. To these subfamilies Azophelineg, Culicine and

Aedeomyine are also added the following Megarhinine, Toxorhynchitine, Foblotine, Heptaphlebomyine and

Corethrine.

There is some doubt as to whether the last named should be included in the family Culidine for

they have not that characteristic piercing proboscis, nor such definite scales; on the other hand the

venation of the wings is similar to Culex and th2ir life-history also agrees with that of the true Culicide.

(x) Recently Dr. Grabham informs me that the frontal hairs of the larvae vary in form in different stages of the same species..

FAM. CULICIDA* 5

It is considered best therefore to retain the few genera of the Corethyina in this family. The females

of Culicine and Aedeomyine are so alike that without the examination of the males it is not always

possible to place them in the right subfamily, the number of palpal joints varying in both and also the

scale structure and venation. Hence a few genera recorded here are put down with doubt under the

larger grouping.

This subfamily can be told from all others by the long female palpi and long first submarginal cell.

The palpal character occurs in the next subfamily, but the members of the Megarhinine have very

small first submarginal cells.

Characters. — Head with upright forked scales, now and then with those of other forms;

thorax scaly or hairy; metanotum nude; scutellum simple. Proboscis straight and thin. Palpi long and

clavate in the o, long in the 9 but usually not quite so long as the proboscis, more or less acuminate;

more or less scaly. Antenne verticillate in 9; plumose in ©; basal joints may or may not be scaly.

Wings with longish fork-cells; the first submarginal usually longer than the second posterior; both

small in the ~%. Ungues in o, unequal on fore and mid-legs, one or both may be simple, uni-, bi-

2. SUBFAM. MEGARHININA, THEOBALD

This subfamily can be told from the following in which the palpi are long in both sexes by the

very small first submarginal cell and curiously bent proboscis. They are all large insects with brilliant

coloration and caudal tufts. They are frequently spoken of as Elephant mosquitos. The scale structure

differs widely from that of the Azopheline, the head especially. In scale structure and general appearance

they resemble the next subfamily Toxorhynchiting but the G's of the latte: have short palpi.

Characters. —- Head densely clothed with flat scales and some upright forked scales; palpi in

the of long, acuminate, in the Q notso long as the &. Proboscis much curved. Antenne of o plumose,

of © verticillate, basal joints scaly. Thorax clothed with spindle shaped scales, broader flat ones at the

sides and over base of wings; scutellum clothed with flat scales; metanotum nude; prothoracic lobes

with flat scales. Abdomen covered with flat scales and with a caudal fan of fine hair like scales always

present in the 6’. Wings with very small fork-cells, the first submarginal being very small, the stems of

the fork-cells very long; in the of the wings are longer and narrower than in the 9; supernumerary

cross-vein nearer the apex of the wing than the mid. Ungues of Q equal and simple, of o unequal on

fore and mid legs, the larger always toothed.

This subfamily at present contains only one genus (Megarhinus). The species are only found

in tropical and warmer subtropical countries.

Characters. — Same as those of the subfamily. The members present most beautiful metallic

coloration. Some are said to bite severely. They are mostly confined to South America, West Indes

Malay States and East Indes. Most are purely sylvan in habits. Larvae with siphon.

(x) The type is in the British Museum, but I cannot find any description.

3. SUBFAM. TOXORHYNCHITINA, Nov. SUBFAM.

This subfamily differs from the precceding in that the Q’s have the palpi short and rather thick;

differences as great as those between the Azopheline and Culicine. Both species with caudal tufts and

species devoid of this form of ornamentation occur and it is probable that two genera founded on

this character should be formed. Several species previously supposed to belong to Megarhinus (the

species having been founded on the @’s only) are now included here. A single genus occurs.

GENUS TOXORHYNCHITES, THEOBALD

Toxorhynchites. Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 1, p. 244 (1901).

Characters. — Head clothed with flat scales and a few upright forked scales. Thorax with

small flat spindle shaped scales and long spatulate scales; scutellum clothed with long,flat scales. Meta-

notum nude. Abdomen clothed with flat scales, with or without a caudal tuft. Venation as in Megarhinus

Palpi of o# long; of Q short and thick, composed of three segments. Proboscis curved as in Megarhinus.

The genus occurs in Africa, Asia, East Indes and Australia.

Geographical distribution of species. — The most widespread species is 7mmuisevicors Walker

which is extremely variable, it occurs from Ceylon up India to the Malay States and East Indes and Jam

inclined to think that the Australia Speciosa Skuse is only a variety of Wallser’s species. Africa also

seems the home of this genus.

None have so far occured in South America where its place is taken by Megarhinus.

4.SUBFAM. CULICINA, THEOBALD

This in the largest subfamily and contains a number of diverse genera. They can easily be seen

to belong to this group, by the short Q palpi and long of palpi. They most nearly approach the

Toxorhynchitine in this respect, but the longer first submarginal cell at once separates them.

Characters. — Head clothed with all flat scales (Stegomyia) or a mixture of flat, narrow-curved

and upright forked ones. Palpi long in the o, either clavate (Theobaldia, etc) or acuminate (Culex, etc);

in the 9 short and composed of 3 to 5 segments. Proboscis straight and moderately thick. Wings with

|. GENUS JANTHINOSOMA, ARRIBALZAGA*

Janthinosoma. Arribalzaga. Dipt. Argent. p. 52 (1891).

Characters. — Head covered with rather broad spindle-shaped scales and upright forked ones

Thorax with short, broad spindle- shaped scales and also the scutellum. Male palpi long, longer than

the proboscis, both Gf and Q palps densely scaly. Hind legs always densely scaly, giving the insects

a characteristic appearance, one or more of the hind tarsi always white; ungues of Q very thick,

uniserrated, fore and mid in the o unequal, serrated.

They are all somewhat metallic when fresh.

Geographical distribution of species. — So far this genus has only been found in South

America, the West Indes and the South of North America. Five species are known.

2. GENUS PSOROPHORA. ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY

Psorophora. Robineau-Desvoidy, Essai Culic. p. 412 (1827).

Characters. — Head covered with small broad curved scales and upright forked ones; meso-

thorax with curved scales in the middle and short broad ones laterally. Palpi long in the G,of 5 segments,

longer than the proboscis; in the Q short, never more than half the length of the proboscis, composed

of four segments (? 5). Proboscis short and thick in the G; longer and bent in the Q. Prothoracic. lobes

have appendages which protect the stigmata of that area. Legs with the apices of the femora and tibiae

and to some extent the metatarsi with long scales; ungues of Q thick, equal uniserrated. Wings with

rather long thin lateral vein-scales; first submarginal only a little longer than the second posterior cell;

posterior cross-vein close to the mid but usually a little nearer the base of the wing than the mid.

This genus can at once be told by the arrangement of the thoracic scales, and the densely

scaled legs.

Geographical distribution of species, — So far as at present known this genus is confined to

North and South America and the West Indes. .

scales, which stand out from the surface. Legs densely scaled with projecting scales; ungues of 9 small,

thick, equal and uniserrated. Wings ornamented, scales broadly pyriform and particolored, venation as

in Culex but the posterior cross-vein is nearer the apex of the wing than the mid cross-vein. Palpi of Q

half as long as the proboscis; of the of a little longer. Large mouldy looking species, easily told by

the twisted head and thoracic scales.and the wing scales.

in the British Museum, but the only difference I can detect is that some o's have no paddles and as these

may have been rubbed off I have only definitely described one species, particularly as they were all

collected in the same place.

Catageiomyia, Theobald, Mem. XI, Liverp. School Trop. Med., p. 1 app. (1903).

Characters. — Head clothed with loose irregularly disposed flat scales over most of the area,

with narrow-curved ones behind and some upright forked ones; in the & the narrow-curved scales spread

out over the head rather further them in the Q. Scutellum with flat scales to the mid lobe, narrow-curved

ones to the lateral lobes; narrow-curved scales on the mesonotum. Palpi short in the Q, composed of

3 segments, the last as long as the two basal ones; palpi in of long, but not nearly as long as the pro-

boscis, the two apical segments short, the apical slightly shorter than the penultimate; apex of the ante-

penultimate slightly expanded, dense hairs on each side of the penultimate and on one side of the apex

of the antepenultimate.

This genus differs from those related to it in (1) o& palpi shorter than the proboscis and (11) loosely

applied cephalic flat scales. In general appearance the single species resembles a Culex of the fatigans

group.

Geographical! distribution of species. — A single species only occurs.

19. GENUS GILESIA, THEOBALD

Gilesia. Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 233 (1903).

Characters. — Head covered with rather broad and flat spindle-shaped scales and narrow-

curved ones; scutellum with small flat scales and some spindle shaped ones. Palpi of the Q of four

segments, rather long, about one-fourth the length of the thick proboscis. apical joint long. penultimate

joints swollen, globose, the two basal joints small. Basal joint of the antennz with small bristles and a

few small flat scales. Ungues of Q very thick, short and with a blunt tooth. Wing venation much as

in preceding genera; fork-cells small; veins clothed with rather broad elongated scales like Taentorhyn-

chus (genus 25). Male unknown.

This genus comes between the Stegomyians and Culex, whilst the wings give it a Taemorhynchus

like appearance. The chief characters are the scale ornamentation of the head and scutellum.

Geographical distribution of species. — A single species is only known at present.

1. G. aculeata, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 233 (1903) (South Queensland).

(x) Lepidotomyia magna, nov. spec. Head black with a narrow white eve-border and a few pale median scales; palpi of O rather long and black.

Thorax white in front, forming a solid white W. a small white triangular spot on the base of the wings and white lateral spots. Abdomen black with basal

white lateral spots. Fore legs black with a white apical tibial spot; mid legs with an apical tibial spot,|metatarsi white with a black band towards the apical

half. apex of first tarsal and remainder black; hind legs with base and apex of femora white, tibia black, base and apex of metatarsus with white bands,

base of first tarsal with white band and a minute one to the second segment. Wings normal. — Length, 5.5 mm. Habitat Bombay.

20. GENUS THEOBALDIA NEVEU-LEMAIRE

Theobaldia, Neveu-Lemaire, C. r. Soc. Biol. Paris (29 Nov. 1902).

Characters. — Head and scutellar scales narrow-curved, except at the sides of the head where

they are flat, there are also upright forked scales on the head. Palpi long in the <, the two apical joints

swollen, composed of thiee segments, and three incomplete pseudo-joints, the two apical segments and

apex of the antepenultimate with hair-tufts. Wings with many large lanceolate scales, which become

collected into patches forming more or less distinct spots.

The members of this genus form a very natural group, easily told by the ¢& clavate palpi and the

lanceolate wings scales often collected into definite spots. They were all previously placed in Culex.

Geographical distribution of species. — All the species belong to temperate climates, when

they occur elsewhere it is usually in the hills. They are domestic forms and thus are easily distributed

by artificial agencies.

21. GENUS GRABHAMIA, THEOBALD

Grabhamia, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 243 (1903).

Characters. — Allied to both Culex and Taeniorhynchus. Head clothed with rather broad curved

scales, upright forked scales and flat lateral ones. All the thorax with narrow-curved scales. Palpi of 9

composed of 4 segments, the apical one minute; of palpi long, the two last segments swollen and with

distinct hair tufts. Wings rather short; fork-cells short; median vein scales rather thick, lateral ones

rather short and broadish, neither so long nor as dense as in Taemiorhynchus; scales of wings mottled and

also the legs mottled and spotted.

Eggs laid singly (dorsalis, jamaicensis, etc.), larvae with short siphon when adult.

Geographical distribution of species. — Twelve species occur in this genus, the majority

come from Europe and North America. Previously placed in the genus Culex.

22. GENUS ACARTOMYIA, THEOBALD

Acartomyia, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 251 (1903).

Characters. — Allied closely to Grabhamia but differs in cephalic ornamentation. Head clothed

with irregularly disposed flat scales all over, with patches of narrow curved and numerous upright

forked scales, giving the head a general ragged appearance. Thorax with narrow-curved scales. Palpi of

@ composed of 4 segments, of the G much swollen apically involving the last two segments and the

apex of the antepenultimate segment, the apical one being especially swollen. Wings with rather small

fork-cells, majority of vein scales broadish and with crenulated edges, mottled.

Larvae with short thick siphons when mature.

Geographical distribution of species. — A single species only occurs at present; the larvae

living in salt pans along the shore at Malta. This mosquito may have some connection with Mediter-

ranean fever.

Characters. — Head scales of all three forms, narrow-curved, upright forked and flat lateral

ones; scales of thorax narrow-curved. Wings with partly Culex-like and partly Tentorhynchus-like scales,

the latter forming dark areas and spots; wing fringe spotted. Palpi of Q composed of 3 segments; &%

palpi of 3 segments, the last segment acuminate slightly longer than the penultimate, all the segments

very hairy. except at the base of the palpi.

Geographical distribution of species. — A single species only is known in the genus

coming from South America. It can easily be told by its large size and spotted wings.

in fore and mid legs unequal, simple or serrated. Wings with the fork-cell long or moderately long, the

lateral vein scales linear or slightly lanceolate. Palpi of ot acuminate.

This genus, the type of the family still contains a number of species that may possibly be justifiably

excluded from it.

BRANES CUE DAs 25

Geographical distribution of species. — The members of this genus are found in almost all

parts of the world. By far the largest number of species undoubtedly occur in this genus. One species

only has spotted wings.

25.GENUS TAENIORHYNCHUS, ARRIBALZAGA (MODIFIED BY THEOBALD)

Taeniorhynchus. Arribalzaga, Dipt. Argent. p. 47 (1899), modified by Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 2,

Pp. 190 (1901).

Characters. — Head clothed with narrow-curved, upright forked and flat lateral scales. Thorax

with narrow-curved scales. Abdomen with flat scales. Palpi long in the ©, short in the Q, the fifth

segment in the Q minute, buried in the preceeding, the o palpi longer than the proboscis. Wings with

similar venation to Culex but clothed with thick elongated scales ending either diagonally, convexly or

acutely; median linear scales often absent. Legs usually spotted and proboscis banded. This genus is

separated from Culex as account of the wing scales. Probably the group of yellow species centered around

T. fuluus. Wiedemann, will have to be excluded and placed in a new genus.

Geographical distribution of species. — The genus is represented in Europe, Asia, Africa

America and New-Zealand but so far no species have been found in Australia or any of the Oceanic

Islands.

Panoplites, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 2, p. 173 (1go1).

Characters. — Head clothed with narrow-curved and long upright forked scales. Thorax with

thin hair-like curved scales and numerous bristles. Abdomen with flat scales with very convex apices;

often rather ragged; in the QO the apex truncated and the penultimate segment usually has a row of

short thick spines. Legs mottled and banded with white. Palpi of o long, of four segments and with

hair tufts; in the Q short, the first segment small, the apical one nipple-like. Wings densely clothed with very

broad asymmetrical flat scales on each side of the ves.

This genus is very distinct owing to the curiously formed scales on the wings. The only other

genus with which the Q’s might be confused is Aedeomyia, the scales however are broader than in that

genus.

The name I described the genus under (Panoflites) was previously used, the genus being renamed

by Prof. R. Bianchard. Species of this genus occur in Asia, Africa, North and South America and

in Australia.

Geographical distribution of species. — The chief home of this group seems to be Africa

and South America.

Melanoconion, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 238 (1903).

Characters. — Head clothed with narrow-curved scales and upright forked ones, the latter pre-

dominating. Thorax and scutellum with narrow-curved scales. Palpi short in the Q, long in @. Proboscis

expanded apically. Wings with the veins covered with small dense broad flat scales at their apical

portions and along the costal border, which has on its upper side spine-like scales. Femora swollen at the

apex and base, tibiz swollen at their apices.

Mostly small black gnats which bite viciously and which swarm in swamps and forests.

They are easily told from Culex by the form of the wing scales on the apical half of the wing.

Geographical distribution of species. — The six members of this genus occur in Asia,

Africa, South America and the West Indes.

Lasioconops, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 235 (1903).

Characters. — Head clothed with similar scales to Culex. Thorax with narrow-curved scales.

Abdomen clothed with flat scales and with large projecting flat lateral scales with deeply dentate apices, in more

or less dense tufts. Wings with typical Culex scales and venation. Palpi short in the Q.

This genus is separated from Culex on account of the very peculiar abdominal scales.

Geographical distribution of species. — A single species only known in the 9 sex.

Finlaya, Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 3, p. 281 (1903).

Characters. — Head clothed with flat scales, broad curved scales and numerous upright forked

ones and with long projecting bristles in front; the broad curved ones border the eyes and form a median

area, the flat ones are much rounded apically and not so closely applied to the surface as in Stegomyia.

Mesothorax with narrow-curved scales. Scutellum with flat scales, somewhat rounded apically and

natrow-curved ones form a basal row; prothoracic lobes with flat scales. Abdomen clothed with flat

scales, the apical segments with ventral scaly tufts. Palpi of Q short, densely scaly, of 4 segments (?) in

Trichoprosoponina. Theobald.

This subfamily so far contains but a single genus (Foblotia), It is separated from the Culicinae on

account of the metanotum having scales and chaetae.

Characters. — Head clothed with flat scales and with a ring of upright forked scales across the

6. SUBFAM. AEDEOMYINZA, THEOBALD (:)

This subfamily contains all those Culicids in which the Gand Q palpi are short, often very short,

the ¢f palpi never being long as in the preceding subfamilies. There are at present known 15 genera and

(t) Blanchard prefers the term Aedinae.

34 DIPTERA

one Hodgesia Theobald may possibly come here. There are no definite characters by which < Aedeomyinae

can be told from 9 Culicinae or Q Foblotinae. There is similar squamose, nervation, and palpal variation

here as in the other sections. Most of the genera are tropical and subtropical.

Characters. — Head clotbed with all varieties of scales (Aedes) ; or flat scales and upright forked

ones only (Uvanotenia, etc.); Thorax with flat, spindle shaped and narrowcurved scales,also the scutellum ;

metanotum may be nude, or may have chaetae (Wyeomyia, etc.) or chaetae and scales (Limatus, Sabe-

thes, etc.). Palpi short in the Q often minute, from 2 to 5 segments, never more than half the length

of the proboscis; in the Gt short, never more than half the length of the proboscis, often very small.

Antennae pilose and verticillate in the Q, plumose or verticillate in the ot. Proboscis usually normal,

sometimes very long (Phoniomyia), elbowed (Léimatus) or much swollen (Mimomyia). Venation variable,

fork-cells normally long (Aedes ; Haemagogus, etc.), occasionally small (Uvanotaenia). Ungues equal in Q ;

the fore and mid ungues in the & simple and serrated.

Larvae siphonate. The majority of species are sylvan in habits, none truly domestic as in Culicinae

and Anophelinae.

femora slightly swollen. Wings with normal Culicine venation, but the 3rd vein, is carried past the mar-

ginal cross-vein as a scaled-vein; lateral vein-scales long and nearly over-lapping those of contiguous

veins, their apices with marked lateral spines. Male unknown.

This genus presents affinities to Stegomy’a, but can at once be told by the marked lateral vein-scales.

The minute palpi however seem to place it in the Aedeomytnae. Until the o is found its exact position

cannot be defined.

Geographical distribution of species. — One species only occurs, which is a bloodsucker

and very annoying.

7. SUBFAM. HEPTAPHLEBOMYINA, THEOBALD

This subfamily has been formed to include an aberrant species in which there is a distinct scaled

seventh longitudinal vein.

Characters. — Head covered with median narrow-curved, flat lateral and upright forked scales

as in Culex. Thorax with narrow-curved scales and also the scutellum; metanotum nude. Abdomen

simple as in Culex. Palpi of © short, clavate, apical segment swollen. Wings with normal Cuwlex-scales;

fork-cells long, a distinct scaled seventh long vein present. Male unknown (1).

8. SUBFAM. CORETHRINAE, THEOBALD

This subfamily contains two old genera Corethra and Mochlonyx to which Coquillett has recently

added several new ones. These insects have no true scales as in the other subfamilies and no piercing

mouth, but as they venation so closely agrees they have been included in the family Culicide. Undoubt-

edly they form a connecting link between the Culicide and Chironomide. It would probably be best to

treat them as a distinct family : Corethrinidae.

Characters. — Body with hairs, not scaly. Wings with typical Culicive venation but with

hair-like scales not true scales, except along the wing fringe. Proboscis very short, not formed for piercing

never trilobed. Legs long and slender, hairy, unarmed.

\ series of males and females has been received whilst this work was in the press from Bihé, Angola. Further details will be given in the

Entomologist for qos. Two new species have also been received from Madagascar.

in the former, but the spaces between the verticels almost bare as in the latter; differs from each in the

much shorter second segment of the antennae which in only slightly longer than wide. Antennae of

rather robust, submoniliform on the basal half, first six segments only slightly longer than wide, the

remaining segments increasing in length and decreasing in diameter towards the apex, the antepenultimate

ishalfthe length of the penultinate ; verticelscomposed of numerous very long bristly hairs except on the

last segment; antennae of Q nearly cylindrical, the segments gradually increasing in length to the apex

scarcely thickened at the insertion of the verticels, which consist of a few rather short bristly hairs,

proboscis about one and one half times as long as height of head, palpus inserted near three-fourths of its

ADDENDA

GENUS ETORLEPTIOMYIA, THEOBALD

Etorleptiomyia. Theobald, Gordon Coll. Lab. Report p. 71 (1904).

Characters. — Head clothed with a mixture of narrow-curved scales, upright forked ones and

small loose flat scales all over; antennz scaly on the basal joints. Thorax with scales of mesonotum

narrow and curved, those of the scutellum flat and small. Abdomen clothed with flat scales. Wings with

very marked heart-shaped scales, on the basal halves of the second, fourth, fifth and sixth veins; on the

first long vein, base of second and fourth also are more or less Mansonia-like scales and along costal

border also, scales on the apical halves of the veins pedunculated, clavate, peduncles very short; costa

spiny ; fork-cells moderately long.

This forms a very distinct genus, easily told by the curious heart-shaped scales on the wings. The

proboscis seems very weak.

The Mansonia-like scales are not exactly as in that genus, but approach them very closely.

Geographical distribution of species. — A single species only has so far been found in the

Sudan.
