Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Key to the Identification of the Larvae of the Common Anopheline Mosquitos of the Malay Peninsula A disadvantage is that a microscope must be used; which is not necessary for the adult. The larva is collected in the various ways which the collector has devised, it is brought home in the waters of its birth, and forthwith killed by being placed in a mixture of 50% alcohol and 4% formalin (ih which it can also be preserved) or it may be allowed to die from natural causes. For examination under the microscope it is placed on a glass slide and covered with a glass slip: a one sixth-inch objective gives sufficient magnification. It is possible, if the larva is well-grown, to identify every species of Malayan anopheline with certainty. But this Key applies only to the commoner species. The rare species are.
