This unique volume is a comprehensive compilation of all scientific names introduced at all levels of classification within the Culicipedia family since the official start of zoological nomenclature. The work is largely a lexicon aimed at being historical and informative as well as nomenclatural and bibliographic. Unlike catalogues, it contains sections devoted separately to the groups of names regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the species, genus and family groups, as well as sections concerned with names derived from personal and geographical names and other sources. In addition to insights into the history of mosquito classification, attention given to the formation, Latinization and derivation of names makes the work a crucial contribution to mosquito science

From 1961 to 1966 the U.S. Army Medical Component, South East Asia Treaty Organization conducted extensive mosquito collecting activities throughout the Kingdom of Thailand in connection with interdisciplinary studies of mosquito-borne diseases in the country. These collections, currently being studied at the Smithsonian Institution, have revealed that Thailand is endowed with a particularly rich mosquito fauna, sharing many species with India and Indochina in its northern and central monsoon areas, and having a large Malayan element in the more southern provinces. Included among the SEATO collections is an excellent series of a unique species of the genus Culex which represents a new subgenus. The description of this taxon was prepared after examination of 29 females, 27 males, and 56 larvae, 23 of which are individual rearings with associated larval and pupal skins. In the following description, terminology and chaetotaxy of the immature stages conforms to that of Belkin (1962).

The adult, pupal and larval stages of Culex (Culex) verutus, n. sp. from Sierra Leone are described and illustrated. The new species is compared to other members of the guiarti group. This paper describes a new species of Culex collected in Sierra Leone by Dr. Yiau-Min Huang and Mr. James Pecor during field studies conducted in 1984. The species has been misidentified as Culex ingrami Theobald in the past. Anatomical terminology used in this report is that of Harbach and Knight (1980) except as follows: (1) siphon index is calculated using width measured at base, (2) siphon/saddle index replaces saddle/siphon index, (3) crest is introduced for the apical part of the aedeagal sclerite, and (4) the part of the lateral plate which articulates with the basal piece is dubbed the basal articulatory process. The new terms are illustrated in Figures 1 and 3.
