Most of the Culicidse have a long promi- nent proboscis containing needle-like organs for piercing and sucking, but in two subfamilies, including the midges of the genus Dixa, and the so-called phantom midges, Corethra (Fig. 192), the adults of which resemble true mosquitoes and are often mistaken for them, there is no long proboscis. The general appearance of adult mosquitoes is so well known.
