Close-up of Aedes hexodontus, Aedes punctor and Punctor subgroup’s outlier. Ae. hexodontus: showing heavily scaled probasisternum (Pb; A) and extensive patch of white scales at base of costa (C; D); Ae. punctor: showing a few scattered scales on probasisternum (Pb; B) and a few pale scales at base of costa (C; E); Punctor subgroup’s outlier: showing heavily scaled probasisternum (Pb; C) and small patch of scales at base of costa (C; F).
