. Blood-sucking mosquitoes of the subtribe Culisetina (Diptera, Culicidae) in world fauna. Mosquitoes. 91 denticles, denser as a rule toward the apex of the tooth. With the growth of additional crenations, the tooth base becomes increas- ingly broad. With further development of crenation, the pecten tooth acquires a flabellate form (Fig. 51). In some cases, the teeth of the crest are distinctly paired (Theomyia fraseri, Fig. 97, b). Usually, the teeth gradually become weaker proximally and the extreme proximal ones appear rudimentary. The form of the pecten teeth is variable not only in differ
