Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory

Nicaromyia was originally proposed as a subgenus of Culex by González Broche & Rodríguez R. (2001), with nicaroensis Duret, 1967 as its type and the only included species. Culex nicaroensis was originally described as a species of subgenus Melanoconion. Sallum & Forattini (1996) exculded it from Melanoconion and it remained without subgeneric placement until Nicaromyia was proposed to accommodate it.
