Remarks

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides slightly concave, apices slightly rounded anteriorly, rounded or truncate posteriorly, setae of 2 sizes, marginal setae largest, smaller setae scattered over remainder of dorsum, 3 or 4 lateral setae on margin of each abdominal segment; ventral multilocular pores predominantly with 7 loculi; microtubular ducts short, with 2 sclerotized areas (Williams, 1985h). It is sometimes difficult to distinguish this species from An. insignis. At present the main differences are the 3 marginal setae on the abdominal segment VII in An. pseudinsignis compared with 4 in An. insignis. The dorsal setae on the head and thorax in An. pseudinsignis are quite robust and are much longer than the setae on the posterior abdominal setae, whereas all the dorsal setae in An. insignis are short and usually slender, although those on the head and thorax are often wider than the abdominal setae. At present both species are here regarded as distinct, but intermediates may be found to warrant further research. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
Structure: Adult female is elongate, rather narrow, yellow. Ovisacs are elongate-oval, white to light yellow and usually placed at the junction of the blade with the stem of the grass, where they are practically concealed from view (Green, 1921).
Biology: This species has one yearly generation, eggs overwinter. Adults appear during the first part of June, start laying 29-78 eggs per female from the end of June. Dziedzicka & Koteja (1971) collected adult females each month from April through September.
General Remarks: Most detailed descriptions and illustrations by Williams (1985h) and by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
