    hairs are well developed on segments #1 to #7 of the abdomen.  Both inner and outer hairs of the
    clypeus are long and          
    slender. Inner clypeal hairs are widely separated and feathery on
    the outer half.  The outer clypeal
    hairs have tiny branches             on
    the  outer half  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    Feathery hairs are well developed on segments #2 or #3 to #7 of the
    abdomen.  The inner and outher
    clypeal hairs are different            from

    the clypeus are long, single, not quite equal and widely separated at their
    bases _ _ _ _ 5         The
    inner and outer hairs of the clypeus are long and usually with 1 to 5
    branches near the tips.  The
    posterior clypeal hairs are           short and may be branched, while the
    inner hairs are closely set at their bases  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  Anopheles atropos D. & K.   5.  The inner angle of each posterior plate
    of the respiratory apparatus is extended into a long, sclerotized tail (the
    tails project            from
    the water in living larvae)   _ _ _

    inner angle of each posterior plate is rounded and not extended into a tail

    abdominal segments #4 & #5 have 2 conspicuous hair tufts anterior to
    the feathery tuft (Nos. 2 and "0").  The tufts are about           
    equal in size and have 4 to 9 branches _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    abdominal segments #4 & #5 have only one hair tuft (No. 2) anterior to
    each feathery tuft.  Hair
    "0" is absent or vestigial,            but
    if  present the inner clypeal hairs
    are lightly feathered toward their tips _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    divided into 2 or 3 branches or feathery toward their tips _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _   8        The
    inner hairs of clypeus are usually not branched but they may rarely be
    divided into 2 branches near the middle     _ _ _ _ 9   8.  The inner hairs of the clypeus are
    arranged so close together that an extra tubercle of the same size cannot
    fit between their           bases.
    Each hair is thinly feathered on the apical half.  The occipital hairs (Nos., 8 & 9) are small and each with
    2 to 4          branches

    inner hairs of the clypeus are not arranged as close together so that an
    extra tubercle of the same size can be put between            their
     bases. The inner clypeal hairs have
    2 or 3 branches near the middle.

    separated at their bases by at least the diameter of one tubercle.  Feathery tufts are well            developed
    on segments #3 to #7.  A feathery
    tuft on segment #2 is often well developed.  Occipital hairs are well developed             with
    8 to 10 branches  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
