Included species

Petermattinglyius franciscoi, Pe. iyengari, Pe. punctipes and Pe. scanloni .

Distribution

Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand.

Bionomics

Immature stages have been collected from water in bamboo pots, bamboo stumps, tree holes, and hollow in a teak log ( Reinert, 1970). Females have been collected in human-baited traps and also biting humans at an elevation of 300 m in forest fringe and scrub areas. Adults have been collected in light traps and resting in houses.

Discussion

Additional descriptive information is provided in Appendix 1 for species included in the analysis. Inclusion of Pe. punctipes is based on the published description of Edwards (1921). Recommended abbreviation = Pet.
