Table 1.

Mean ± SEM of proboscis, mandible, and maxilla lengths (in mm) in male and female Cx. quinquefasciatus.

Female Male
Proboscis Mandible Maxilla Proboscis Mandible Maxilla
2.11 ± 0.02* 2.08 ± 0.02a 2.04 ± 0.01a 2.01 ± 0.03 1.53 ± 0.03b 2.00 ± 0.02a

Data had a normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk test, P > 0.05). Proboscis length in two sexes were compared by a paired sample t-test, df = 29, t = 2.219, P = 0.034, n = 30; The asterisk shows the significantly longer proboscis. Mandible and maxilla lengths compared by ANOVA, df = 3, 36, F = 95.932, P < 0.001, n = 10, followed by Waller-Duncan post-hoc test; Letters indicate the statistically significant differences among groups.
