Mosquitoes of the Ethiopian Region

Abstract

The present is the third and final volume of a o1 general monograph of the mosquitoes –of tropical and subtropical Africa. The first volume (1936) by Hopkins dealt with the larvæ of the Culicine mosquitoes and covered both their biology and external anatomy. The second volume (1938) by the late Dr. Alwen Evans, gave a very detailed account of the Anopheline mosquitoes from all points of view. The present volume includes the adult and pupal characters of the African Culicines, together with the late author's judgment about the affinities of this difficult group. It may readily be understood that it has not been easy to secure coherence between the first and third volumes, which divide the account of the Culicines, and have come out at a five–year interval: none the less they are not seriously discrepant.
