Medical Entomology Studies - II. The Subgenus Anopheles in Thailand (Diptera: Culicidae) (Contributions of the American Entomological Institute. Volume 12, Number 1)
Abstract
This is a comprehensive revision of the subgenus Anopheles in Thailand that involved the examination of over 10,000 specimens of 32 species and one subspecies. Included in the 96 full-page figures are: 92 plates of whole pupae and larvae, many habitus drawings of females, male genitalia, wings and other selected characters. Major sections included are: zoogeography, format-treatment, morphology, taxonomy in general, taxonomy of supraspecific categories, keys and the descriptions. Species descriptions include sections on: synonymy, descriptions of female, male, pupa and larva, type-data, distribution, taxonomic discussion, biology and where applicable, medical significance. Special emphasis is placed on the keys, descriptions, type discussions, intraspecific and interspecific variations, affinities, behavior and a specific level review of medical significance. A key to all the known adult females of the genus Anopheles in Thailand is included as an appendix. The male, female, pupa and larva of A. aberrans n. sp., are described and illustrated. Pupae of insulaeflorum and palmatus are described for the first time. Stages and genitalia for the following species are illustrated for the first time: campestris pupa; donaldi pupa; hodgkini male genitalia; insulaeflorum male genitalia; palmatus adult abdomen, male genitalia and pupa: and pollicaris male genitalia and pupa. A lectotype is designated for baezai, and Stethomyia pallida Ludlow, is moved from synonymy under aitkenii to synonymy under bengalensis.
