Extract

Four species of Haemagogus have been found in Brazil, the commonest and most widely distributed being H. spegazzinii.

Keys and diagrams are given to facilitate the identification of the Haemagogus of this country.

Two of the proven vectors of sylvan yellow fever, H. capricornii and H. spegazzinii, can be distinguished one from another only by their male terminalia.
