An ultrastructural study of the manchette was carried out on 21 species belonging to the culicid genera Aedes, Anopheles, Culex and Toxorhynchites . Each genus has a characteristic morphological type of manchette. Toxorhynchites seems to have the type found in many other Diptera, while the other genera have unusual types.
