Nomenclatural Status and Some Additions to the Species Listed in the Publication, New Species of Mosquitoes in the Fauna of the USSR by A. V. Gutsevich and A. M. Dubitskiy (1981) (Diptera: Culicidae)
Abstract
The taxonomic position of a number of species of Culicidae from the USSR is discussed. The following four species have been recorded from the USSR since 1981: Aedes (Edwardsaedes) bekkui, Ae. (Finlaya) versicolor, Ae. (Ochlerotatus) cypriodes and Culiseta (Culiseta) nipponica. Since the publication of "New species of mosquitoes in the fauna of the USSR" by Gutsevich and Dubitskiy (1981), there have been changes in the status of certain species included in their "List of mosquito species of USSR fauna" (l.c., pp. 98-101). In addition, some earlier changes in their taxonomy of several species were not shown by them. This may be related to the lack of pertinent literature at the time the manuscript was submitted, or due to differences in the interpretation of certain species groups or complexes, viz., the Anopheles maculipennis complex.
