On the Oriental Culicid genus Leicesteria, Theobald
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
The genus Leicesteria was founded by Theobald in 1904 (Entomologist, xxxvii, p. 211) for a species of mosquito found by Dr. G. F. Leicester in the Malay States, the most remarkable character of which was the great length of the female palpi, a condition known otherwise among the Culicidae only in Anopheles, Megarhinus and Mucidus, all genera to which the new species was obviously unrelated. Subsequently Dr. Leicester* placed on record his discovery of four other species essentially similar to Theobald's Leicesteria longipalpis; for one of these he created the new genus Chaetomyia. Additional species referable to the genus have since been described by Theobald.†
