Genus Culex. 157 
Genus 20. CULEX. Linn. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 326, 1901.) 
This genus has been reduced to some extent by separating off 
a number of species under the following genera :— Theobaldia, 
Neveu-Lemaire, Lutzia, Melanoconion, Grabhamia, Lasioconops, 
Hptaphlebiomyia, Rhacomyia, Gilesia, and Finlaya ; and other pre- 
viously described Culex have been incorporated in Taeniorhynchus. 
The genus Culea as here treated still contains several species 
which will have to be excluded. Even when finally reduced to 
its narrowest limits it will probably prove a very large one.
