“…Campos and Maciá (1998) brought that total number up to 211 species distributed within 20 genera. Probably some publications either had been lost or had not reached the authors in time-such as Sallum et al (1988); Rossi (1997);Rosa Freitas (1998) since the manuscript was submitted in 1997. Moreover, small errors in detail have been found in certain assignments-as one mistake subsequently corrected by Mitchell and Darsie (1985) with respect to Ps.…”

A decade and a half have passed since the last publication of the mosquito distribution list in Argentina. During this time several new records have been added, and taxonomic modifications have occurred at the genus and subgenus level. Therefore, considering these changes, I decided to create an updated list of the 242 species present in Argentina, along with their distributions by province. Two first records for Argentina (Culex lopesi and Cx. vaxus), two old records unregistered by authors (Cx. albinensis and Wyeomyia fuscipes), 13 new provincial records for 11 species (Cx. apicinus, Cx. bidens, Cx. eduardoi, Cx. lahillei, Cx. pipiens, Cx. tatoi, Cx. usquatus, Cx. imitator, Cx. oedipus, Sabethes chloropterus, and Wy. oblita), and the extension of distribution of other species are presented. The list of literature references for the documents concerning mosquitos is included.

“…Arnell [11] synonymized the species in 1976 under Aedes scapularis but did not mention the possibility for lack of an apical lobe. Sallum et al [42], resurrected and redescribed the species in 1988, clearly showing various differences from Arnell's description of Aedes scapularis, including but not limited to: The presence of posterior scutal fossal setae and achrostical setae, and the absence of a median stripe of pale scaling on the terga in the adult female; the lack of apical lobe of the gonocoxite in the adult male genitalia.…”

“…In his work, he synonymized Aedes camposanus, Aedes hemisurus (together with Aedes indolescens), and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) rhyacophylus Costa Lima, 1933 under Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis. Later, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) rhyacophylus was resurrected and redescribed in 1988 by Sallum et al [42], complete with a lectotype designation.…”

A review of all taxonomic actions within the subgenus Ochlerotatus Lynch Arribálzaga, 1891 (Diptera: Culicidae) sensu Reinert et al. (2008) is provided. In particular, the complex historical taxonomic treatment of the type species of this group is dissected and explained in detail. Additionally, current challenges with the definition of the subgenus and its constituents are discussed, as are the requisite steps for a successful revision of the taxon. Going forward, we conclude that a taxonomic revision of the species should include a neotype designation for Ochlerotatus scapularis (Rondani, 1848) from topotypical material. Additionally, we provide a review of the characters and taxa that need to be re-evaluated and well-described in order to stabilize the taxonomy of the subgenus. This effort represents a key step towards a stable nomenclature of the Tribe Aedini.

“…Aedes scapularis is a species with vector competence for arboviruses and filarial worms (Lourenço-de-Oliveira & Deane, 1995; Rachou et al , 1995; Vasconcelos et al , 2001; Pauvolid-Corrêa et al , 2013), which belongs to the ‘Scapularis group’, a set of morphologically-related species such as Aedes rhyacophilus Costa Lima 1933 and Aedes serratus Theobald 1901 (Arnell, 1976; Sallum et al , 1988). Arnell (1976) reported that the claspette filament of male genitalia of Ae.…”

Morphology of male genitalia of culicids is generally species-specific and often used as a taxonomic marker. However, some characters of the male genitalia vary intraspecifically and are not taxonomically diagnostic. This might be the case of Aedes scapularis, a Neotropical culicid with vector competence for arboviruses and filarial worms. Males of this species may or not present a retrorse process (RP) in the genitalic claspette filaments, which led authors to suspect that this variance might be indicative of population divergence or incipient speciation process. This suspicion has not been investigated hitherto and it is not known if there are variable patterns of RPs. We hypothesized that the presence of the RP varies intraspecifically in Ae. scapularis and then we statistically evaluated the variability of this character in a single population. To this study the genitalia of 73 males of Ae. scapularis were prepared, and their RPs were meristically quantified and categorized according to the phenotypes observed. We noted that the presence or RPs is a polymorphic character because it varied inter and intra-individually. The presence of a single RP on each claspette filament was the predominant pattern (77%), but absent or multiple RPs in each filament were also found either in bilateral symmetry or asymmetry. Thus, we conclude that the presence of RPs owing to its high variability is not indicative of populational divergence or diagnostic of species complex within Ae. scapularis.
