To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hamagogus is a small group of tropical distribution in which the characters resemble Aedes, but the special habits are not well evolved. There is a remarkable correspondence with the Sabethini in THE ANOPHEUNES 193 appearance and in nearly all the characters, but this appears to have been acquired independently. The larvae frequent the water in hollow trees, and are closely allied to the lower members of Aedes with a similar habit. Orthopodomyia is, in many respects, our most generalized culici...ne, the adults with spotted wings and sometimes with broad wing-scales, the larvae without pecten teeth on the air-tube and furnished with chitinous plates on some of the abdominal segments. They inhabit the water in hollow trees or at the leaf -bases of bromeliads. The eggs are laid singly or in small groups, glued to the sides of the tree-hole above the water. This is probably the generalized type of oviposi- tion of mosquitoes, confirming the position here assigned for the genus. It is worthy of note that this type of oviposition also obtains in the Sabethini.
