“…haemorrhoidalis involves four nominal species: Culex haemorrhoidalis Fabricius, 1787, Megarhina separata Lynch Arribálzaga, 1891b, Megarhinus lynchi Dyar & Knab, 1906a and Megarhinus superbus Dyar & Knab, 1906a. Megarhina separata was considered a synonym of haemorrhoidalis as early as Lutz & Neiva (1913). Dyar (1928) followed earlier workers in recognizing Megarhinus lynchi as a valid species; it was regarded as a questionable synonym of haemorrhoidalis by Edwards (1932a) and formally synonymized with separatus by Lane (1939).…”

Beginning about 80 years ago, the recognition of morphological varieties of mosquitoes was gradually replaced by the recognition of subspecies. As an examination of revisionary and detailed taxonomic studies of mosquitoes clearly shows, subspecies are untenable concepts which have been synonymized with nominotypical forms or recognized as distinct species. Thus, from our perspective, subspecies is not a functional or practical taxonomic rank. Consequently, in this study we critically assessed the taxonomic status of the 120 nominal taxa distinguished as subspecies before now to determine whether they should be recognized as separate species or synonymous names. As a result, 96 subspecies are formally elevated to specific rank, 22 are relegated to synonymy with nominotypical forms, one is considered a nomen dubium, one a species inquirenda and the names of four nominal species regarded as synonyms are revalidated. The subspecies and their new status are listed in a conspectus. The revalidated species include Anopheles argentinus (Brèthes, 1912), from synonymy with An. pseudopunctipennis Theobald, 1901c; An. peruvianus Tamayo, 1907, from synonymy with An. pseudopunctipennis as nomen dubium; Culex major Edwards, 1935, from synonymy with Cx. annulioris consimilis Newstead, 1907; and Trichoprosopon trichorryes (Dyar & Knab, 1907), from synonymy with Tr. compressum Lutz, 1905. Additionally, the type locality of Anopheles sergentii Theobald, 1907 is restricted to El Outaya, Biskra Province, Algeria. A complete list of species to be retained, added to or removed from the Encyclopedia of Life, with a few corrections, is provided.

“…Peryassú (1908) descreveu várias espécies de culicídeos no Brasil, incluindo alguns Toxorhynchites. Lutz & Neiva (1913), fizeram importantes considerações sobre a biologia do gênero e descreveram também algumas espécies. Os estudos posteriores foram conduzidos por Costa Lima (1931) que publicou descrições das espécies existentes até aquela data.…”

“…guadeloupensis from the West Indies are primarily inhabitants of bromeliads (Frank & Curtis 1981). A brief reference by Lutz & Neiva (1913) states that Tx. guadeloupensis was reared (sic by Busck and Urich) from bromeliad tanks.…”

Tx. guadeloupensis using Ae. aegypti oviposition traps as breeding places. This Ae. aegypti density is a basic variable in dengue prediction. Whether predation of Ae aegypti by Tx. guadeloupensis may be a cause for underestimation of the actual Ae aegypti numbers. Together these hypotheses need to be better investigated as they are directly related to dengue epidemiology, to the success of any outbreak prediction and surveillance program.
