Extract
During a general survey of malaria in Transjordan, which was carried out in the summer and autumn of 1942, the Anopheline here discussed was found to be widely distributed and often common. It was first seen as an adult female, then considered to be Anopheles (Myzomyia) turkhudi, Liston, 1901, brought from Amman, Transjordan, in May 1942 by Capt. H. F. West, R.A.M.C. It is of value to describe the present material and compare it with such descriptions of the other members of the turkhudi group as are available to me at the moment, though it is considered that in no respect does it differ widely enough from A. (M.) hispaniola, Theobald, 1903, to be accorded more than varietal rank within that species.
