Morphometric geometric study of wing shape in <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> Say (Diptera: Culicidae) from Tamil Nadu, India

The morphometric geometric study was carried out in 10 males and 10 females of Culex quinquefasciatus. There are 23 landmarks corresponding to points at which wing veins either branch or intersect the margin of the wing. Relative warp analysis has been proved to be very efficient in distinguishing...
