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