✦ Synopsis

Cufex vishnui is a member of the vishnui group comprising six closely resembling species. The salivary gland chromosomes are longer than those found in Anopheles, more fragile and spread with difficulty. The banding pattern is compared with that of Culexpipienspipiens and Culexpipiensfatigans. Homologies are closest between vishnui and fatigans. The incidence of asynapsis between the homologues is very high.

## Several properties of the salivary glands of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes were analysed. The amount of protein in female salivary glands increased from 0.26 mg on day one after emergence to about 1.4 mg on day seven. The major polypeptides found in the female salivary glands had molecular
