SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: See table 1. 
Male terminalia: Basistyle tubular, two and a half times as long as 
the basal width; clothed with fine, short setae in addition to normal, 
long setal pattern. Apical lobe of the basistyle somewhat flattened, 
undivided, and clothed with fine setae. Appendicles of the apical 
lobe as follows: basal rod fine straight, and pointed; median rod very 
strong and prominently hooked; apical rod fine, longer than median 
rod, and gently hooked; six to eight fine subequal setae distad of the 
rods; leaf absent. Dististyle normal. ‘Tenth sternite crowned with 
a sparse tuft of short, pointed spines; basal arm short, robust, and 
gently curved; two cercal setae present; except for the basal arm, the 
tenth sternite is clothed with fine setae. External process very broad 
basally, then sharply indented and tapering to a point; exceeding the 
ventral cornu in length. Ventral cornu distinctly separated from the 
teeth of the median process; serrate terminally. Median process with 
more than 10 conglomerate teeth. Basal process represented by a 
small bluntly rounded knob. 
Larva: Unknown. 
MATERIAL EXAMINED.—The lectotype male, a paratype male, and 
three other male specimens from Hispaniola, and their associated 
terminalia. 
Distripution.—This species is endemic to the island of Hispaniola.

SysTEeMAtics.— This species is similar to Culex mauesensis but differs 
in the conformation of the structures of the mesosome (particularly 
the teeth), and the shape of the leaf on the apical lobe of the basistyle. 
SALIENT CHARACTERS.—Adult female: See table 1. 
Male terminalia: Basistyle conical, slightly longer than twice the 
basal width; clothed with fine setae in addition to normal, long setal 
pattern. Apical lobe of the basistyle prominent, undivided, and 
clothed with fine setae. Appendicles of the apical lobe as follows: 
basal rod strong, straight, and pointed; median rod broader and 
slightly longer than basal rod, hooked distally; apical rod as long as 
median rod and hooked distally; leaf normal, obovate, and with 
longitudinal striations; two accessory setae present, one very strong 
and prominently hooked, the other fine and gently curved. Dististyle 
normal. Tenth sternite crowned with a dense tuft of short, pointed 
spines; basal arm long and recurved; two or three cercal setae present.
