Results and discussion
As previ6usly reported, there were 9 ommatidia in all rows in the Helsinki
strain in Cx. p.pipiens. Most of the females of the Leningrad strain had 9
ommatidia in all rows, but some had 8. In the Hamburg Cx.p.pipiens , most
of the females had 9 ommatidia, but some had 8 or 10 in the rows, and most of
females in Egyptian strain of Cx. p. molestus had 8 ornmatidia. In this experi-
ment, the remaining females of Egyptian strain were dissected and the results
are included in Table 2.
Table 2 shows the distribution frequency of the ommatidial number in compound eyes of Cx. p. molestus , Cx. p . pipiens , Cx. p . pallens , and Cx. p. qu-
inquefasciatus females together with data in the previous paper. In Cx . p.
molestus , most of the females had 8 ommatidia in the 4th to the 6 th rows,
but some of them had 9 ommatidia. The rate of females with 9 ommatidia var- 74 -

ied with the strain. The Egyptian strain had the highest incidence of females
with 9 ommatidia, and variation of the incidence was small in Japanese strain.
In Cx.p. ipiens , most of the females had 9 ommatidia in the rows, while a
few of them had 9 or 10 as mentioned above. The incidences of such females
also varied with the strain. This was similar to that of the females in Cx. p.
pallens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus. It is interesting that the 10 ommatidia
females did not appear in the strains of Cx.p. quinquefasciatus collected in
Thailand. Malaysia. Papua New Guinea. Indonesia. Surinam, and Sudan. In
conclusion, the ommatidial number in the females of Cx.p. molestus differs

from those of Cx.p.pipiens, Cx.p.pallens, and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus. But
the females of Japanese Cx. p. molestus and those of the other strains could
be discriminated by counting the number of ommatidia, because variation of
ommatidial nurnber was small in Japanese Cx. p. molestus.

要 旨 種々の系統のアカイエカ群の雌の個眼数を調べた。チカイエカの個眼数は
一般に8個であるが、イランとエジプト系のそれはかなり変異した。日本産のチカイ
エカでは変異の幅は小さかった。ネッタイイエカ、アカイエカ及びトビイロイェカで
は9個の個眼を持ったものが多かったが、8個のものもあった。したがって、日本産
チカイエカとその他のアカイエカ群を区別することは可能であろう。
