List of Aedes species

Last updated

The mosquito genus Aedes encompasses over 900 species and several subgenera that are found on all continents except Antarctica, but especially in tropical and subtropical zones. Some of the most well-known species include Aedes aegypti , A. albopictus , and A. japonicus . Aedes mosquitoes are known to carry a variety of pathogens, including dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Many of these species are also known to bite humans and can transmit diseases through their bites. The subgenera within Aedes include Stegomyia, Ochlerotatus, Finlaya, and Diceromyia. Overall, Aedes mosquitoes pose a significant threat to public health and disease prevention efforts must be taken seriously to combat their spread.

<i>Aedes</i> Genus of mosquitoes

Aedes is a genus of mosquitoes originally found in tropical and subtropical zones, but now found on all continents except Antarctica. Some species have been spread by human activity: Aedes albopictus, a particularly invasive species, was spread to the Americas, including the United States, in the 1980s, by the used-tire trade.

<i>Toxorhynchites</i> Genus of flies

Toxorhynchites, also called elephant mosquito or mosquito eater, is a genus of diurnal and often relatively colorful mosquitoes, found worldwide between about 35° north and 35° south. Most species occur in forests. It includes the largest known species of mosquito, at up to 18 mm (0.71 in) in length and 24 mm (0.94 in) in wingspan. It is among the many kinds of mosquito that do not consume blood. The adults subsist on carbohydrate-rich materials, such as honeydew, or saps and juices from damaged plants, refuse, fruit, and nectar.

Stegomyia is a large subgenus of the mosquito genus Aedes with 131 species classified in six species groups, two groups of which are further divided into subgroups.

Ochlerotatus is a genus of mosquito. Until 2000, it was ranked as a subgenus of Aedes, but after Reinert's work, the clade was upgraded to the level of a genus. This change has resulted in the renaming of many subgenus species, and many aedini-related taxa are undergoing taxonomic revisions. Some authors are still using traditional taxonomic names in their publications.

Taxonomy of <i>Anopheles</i> Genus of flies

Anopheles is a genus of mosquitoes (Culicidae) with about 484 recognised species.

<i>Mansonia</i> (fly) Genus of flies

Mansonia mosquitoes are large black or brown mosquitoes with sparkling on their wings and legs. They breed in ponds and lakes containing certain aquatic plants, especially the floating type like Pistia stratiotes and water hyacinth. The eggs are laid in star-shaped clusters on the undersurface of leaves of these plants. The larvae and pupae are found attached to the rootlets of these plants by their siphons. They obtain their air supply from these rootlets. When preparing to transform into adults, these pupae come to the surface of water and the fully formed adults emerge and escape. The control of Mansonia mosquitoes accomplished by removal or destruction of the aquatic host plants by herbicides.

<i>Pseudoficalbia</i> Subgenus of flies

Pseudoficalbia is a subgenus of the mosquito genus Uranotaenia with 153 species. It was originally created as a genus by Frederick Vincent Theobald in 1911 ; however, it was later treated as a subgenus of Uranotaenia, and then was made a synonym of the same genus. It was later restored as a subgenus by E.L. Peyton in 1972.

Uranotaenia is a subgenus of the mosquito genus Uranotaenia with 121 species:

<i>Coquillettidia</i> Genus of flies

Coquillettidia is a mosquito genus erected by entomologist Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904 based primarily on unique features of its "peculiar" male genitalia. The specific epithet honors Dyar's colleague Daniel William Coquillett.

The Afrotropical mosquito genus Eretmapodites contains species that exhibit facultative cannibalism in their larval developmental stages. The species was first described in 1901 by Frederick Vincent Theobald. The type species is Eretmapodites quinquevittatus Theobald

Lutzia is a genus of mosquitos. First described in 1903 by Frederick Vincent Theobald, it includes species whose larval stages exhibit predatory behavior. The type species is Lutzia bigoti.

<i>Sabethes</i> Genus of flies

Sabethes or canopy mosquitos are primarily an arboreal genus, breeding in plant cavities. The type species is Sabethes locuples, first described by Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy in 1827.

<i>Wyeomyia</i> Genus of flies

Wyeomyia is a genus of mosquitoes first described in 1901 by Frederick Vincent Theobald. The genus's 140 species can be difficult to characterize because of their diversity and the need for additional taxonomic work to further delineate them. Adults resemble genus Limatus and Sabethes mosquitoes more closely than other genera in the New World tribe Sabethini, but differ by their scutal scales ranging in color from a relatively dull bronzy with a slight metallic sheen in most species, to a metallic gold. There are other distinguishing characters as well.

Orthopodomyia is a genus of mosquitoes in the family Culicidae. There are at least 40 described species in Orthopodomyia.

<i>Armigeres</i> Genus of mosquitoes

Armigeres is a genus of mosquito belonging to the family Culicidae. Certain species of Armigeres within this genus have the ability to raise their hindlegs and create an egg raft, which they use to transport and deposit eggs onto the water's surface.

Tripteroides is a genus of mosquitoes belonging to the family Culicidae. It is a large and complex assemblage of 122 species and 5 subgenera. Species are distributed from India to Japan, and south to Australia including the islands of southeast Asia and the South Pacific. The species comprising the genus are highly diverse, and the relationships among Tripteroides and Trichoproposon species remain unresolved as many characters overlap. The taxonomic status of this genus urgently needs revision to better understand the relationships among the species and to improve the classification of the genus.

<i>Mimomyia</i> Genus of mosquitoes

Mimomyia is a genus of mosquitoes that belongs to the family Culicidae. The genus Mimomyia has 45 species and 3 subgenera, the species can be found in the Australasian, Oriental, and Afrotropical regions, as well as Madagascar and surrounding islands.
