Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory

Five species of the Ocellatus Group of Sirivanakarn (1983), i.e flochi Duret, 1969, inornata (Theobald, 1905), nigrimacula Lane & Whitman, 1943, ocellatus Theobald, 1903 and punctiscapularis Floch & Abonnenc, 1946, were removed from subgenus Melanoconion by Pecor et al. (1992), and are retained in genus Culex without subgeneric placement.

        Mattingly & Marks (1955) noted that Pseudoskusea cairnsensis Taylor, 1905 was a species of Culex, probably of subgenus Lophoceraomyia, but its subgeneric placement must await a revision of the Australian species of that subgenus.

        According to Belkin (1970), the identity of Gnophodeomyia inornata Theobald, 1905 "may never be determined with certainty as the type series consists of females only".
