Afro-tropical anopheline mosquitoes. III. Description of three new species: Anopheles carnevalei sp nov., An. hervyi sp nov., and An. dualaensis sp nov., and resurrection of An. rageaui Mattingly and Adam

Anopheles (Cellia) carnevalei sp. nov, is described as a new species morpho logically similar to Anopheles nili. This aggressive human biter was collec ted in Ivory Coast. Anopheles (Cellia) hervyi sp. nov. was collected in sou thern Niger and is described as a new species morphologically similar to An opheles salbaii. Anopheles (Cellia) dualaensis sp. nov. is a new species fr om Duala. in southern Cameron. The synonymy of Anopheles cavernicolus and A nopheles smithii is confirmed. Based on extensive reexamination of Larval a nd adult morphology, the authors suggest that Anopheles (Cellia) rageauii M attingly and Adam should no longer be considered as a synonym of An. smithi i.
