6F2187FBFFC5FFB329829928FF6CFEE7.taxon	description	Ludlow (1909) described and named Anopheles formosus from a female collected in the mountains of Benguet Province in northern Luzon. It retained specific rank until Christophers (1924 a) considered it to be a variety of An. gigas. Dyar & Shannon (1925) listed it as a synonym of An. gigas noting that “ The synonymy previously made seems confirmed ”, but no earlier record of the synonymy could be found in the literature. All later authors treated formosus as either a variety or a subspecies, notably, e. g., as a variety by Edwards (1932), Christophers (1933) and Bonne-Wepster & Swellengrebel (1953); as a subspecies by Simmons & Aitken (1942), Russell et al. (1943), Puri (1949) and Baisas (1963). In accordance with ICZN Article 45.6.4.1, formosus has subspecific rank from its original publication because it was used (originally) as the valid name of a species before 1985. This taxon is known only from the Philippine Islands and is likely to be a distinct biological species.	en	Harbach, Ralph E., Howard, Theresa M.

6F2187FBFFC2FFB029829BD0FD6FFEE7.taxon	description	tessellatus subspecies orientalis (Neomyzomyia punctulata var. orientalis Swellengrebel & Swellengrebel de Graaf, 1920). Syntypes (L): Paleleh, Sulawesi, Indonesia (NE). Swellengrebel & Swellengrebel de Graaf (1920) established Neomyzomyia punctulata var. orientalis based on “ larval characters only ”. Edwards (1932) listed this nominal variety as a questionable synonym of An. tessellatus. Later authors, e. g. Lee & Woodhill (1944) and Bonne-Wepster & Swellengrebel (1953), considered it to be a variety of An. tessellatus, with the exception of Bonne-Wepster (1963) who treated it as a subspecies. Because orientalis was proposed expressly for a varietal entity, it has subspecific rank from its original publication (Article 45.6.4).	en	Harbach, Ralph E., Howard, Theresa M.

6F2187FBFFC1FFB129829F35FA1DFD7F.taxon	description	grahamii subspecies farakoensis (var. farakoensis Hamon, 1955). Syntypes (Ψ, ♂, L): Farako, Sikasso, Mali (IERT, BM). Hamon (1955) described and named Culex grahamii var. farakoensis from three males and two females reared from pupae, a larval exuviae and 21 larvae, but the name is based principally on characters that distinguish the larvae from those of the nominotypical form. Since the name farakoensis was proposed expressly for a varietal entity, it has subspecific rank from its original publication (Article 45.6.4).	en	Harbach, Ralph E., Howard, Theresa M.
