. Very few taxonomic studies have been carried out on Anopheles quadriannulatus Theobald, a member of the An.gambiae Giles group of mosquitoes. In this paper a description of the adult, and full setal counts of the larva and pupa are given. Comparisons are made with the few published data on the morphology of this species.
