A single species, so far only found in this genus. The basal lobes of the male genitalia of two segments, the prothoracic lobes with dense outstanding scales.
The species, F. pallidopalpi, Theob., occurs in Sierra Leone.
Genus. Stethomyia, Theobald.
“Mono. Culicid.,” 1903, iii, p. 13; 1907, iv, p. 59; 1910, v, p. 35.
Four species occur in this marked genus—one S. nimba, Theob., from British Guiana and Para, another S. fragalis, Theob., from the Malay States, S. culiciformis, James and Liston, from India, and S. pallida, Ludlow, from India.
The former may be a malaria carrier, for Dr. Low says: “Malarial fever is got amongst the Indians and often of a severe type. In that connection it is interesting that in the interior, at a place called Corato, I got an entirely new Anopheles in large numbers.” The genus is easily told by its unornamented wings, flat head scales, mammillated prothoracic lobes and long thin legs.
Genus. Pyretophorus, Blanchard; Howardia, Theobald.
Compt. rend. heb. Soc. Biol., No. 23, p. 705, Blanchard; Journ. Trop. Med., v, p. 181; and “Mono. Culicid.,” 1903, iii, p. 13; 1910, v, p. 36, Theobald.
Forty-four species come in this genus, of which Anopheles costalis, Loew, is the type.
