Unrecognized Species 
Culex (Culex) virgultus Theobald, 1901 
Culex (Culex) virgultus Theobald, 1901, p. 123. 
Following the recommendation of Stone (1956 [1957]), Culex virgultus 
is considered an unrecognized species in the present study. 
Culex (Culex) guayasi Levi-Castillo, 1953 
Culex (Culex) guayast Levi-Castillo, 1953, p. 15. 
In the original description, Levi-Castillo (1953) described the 
female and included figures of the male terminalia. I have been 
unable to utilize the generalized descriptions in keys or otherwise 
distinguish this species from other members of the subgenus. Since 
type specimens are not available for study, Culex guayasi is here con- 
sidered as an unrecognized species. 
Culex (Culex) quitensis Levi-Castillo, 1953 
Culex (Culex) quitensis Levi-Castillo, 1953, p. 190. 
As mentioned above for C. guayasi, the generalized original de- 
scription of this species is not sufficient for absolute recognition. 
Since type specimens are not available for study, C. quitensis is here 
considered as an unrecognized species.
