Abstract

A study of the morphology and musculature of the fourth instar larval head of Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) was undertaken to determine the structure and functioning of its component parts. The morphology of the head of this species has apparently never been described. It is the purpose of this paper to present the anatomy of the head and to compare its structures with those found in other mosquito larvae.
