چکیده
The genus Culex is not only one of the most dominant in terms of number of species and individuals but also one of the most complex and difficult genera among the mosquitoes of Southeast Asia. In a recent preliminary study a rough /estimate of between 120-130 species, both previously recognized and new, have been seen from the area. They are distributed among 7 subgenera as follows: Neoculex with 5 species; Mochthogenes with 14-15 species; Lophoceraomyia with 48-50 species; Culiciomyia (including Thaiomyia) with 17 or more species; Acalleomyia with 1 species; Culex with 36-38 species and Lutzia with 2-4 species.
