Abstract

Examples are provided for species of the mosquito tribe Mansoniini with published illustrations and/or descriptions of the female genitalia and include corresponding literature citations. Most species of Mansonia Blanchard have only the tergum VIII illustrated and/or described for the female genitalia.

Key words: Diptera, Culicidae, Culicinae, Mansoniini, Coquillettidia, Mansonia, species, female genitalia

Introduction

Current and previously published catalogs of the dipteran family Culicidae do not include a citation category for descriptions and illustrations of the female genitalia of various taxa. This void is partially filled for species in tribe Mansoniini by the following list. Each species listed is followed by literature citations in which illustrations and/or descriptions are included.

Numerous characters of the female genitalia have proven to be of value in distinguishing species and generic-level taxa of tribe Aedini (see Reinert, 2002; Reinert et al., 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009). Within Culicidae, including tribe Mansoniini, many descriptions, at all taxonomic levels, have not included characteristics or illustrations of the female genitalia.

The following list includes species of tribe Mansoniini with female genitalia partially or completely illustrated (denoted by 1) and/or described (denoted by 2) in parentheses following each literature citation. Unfortunately, only the tergum of abdominal segment VIII is included in many published illustrations and descriptions of species of Mansonia Blanchard. Illustrations of the female abdomen with only the cerci protruding and without other genital characters, or with only the cerci described, are not included in the list. Illustrations/descriptions of species as synonyms are included with currently valid species. Abbreviations of the genera and subgenera follow Reinert (2009).
