A revised list of the mosquito species occurring in Spain is presented. Fifty-nine species are recorded by the authors or noted in the literature. However, due to lack of voucher specimens and the unreliability of several older reports, only 53 species records are considered valid. All special cases are discussed.

Culex torrentium is reported from Spain for the first time in the summer of 1999 from the region of Cerdanya, province of Girona. Cx. torrentium was associated with Anopheles petragnani, Culiseta longiareolata, Cs. annulata, Culex impudicus, Cx. hortensis and/or Cx. pipiens. Although different taxonomic characters for larvae and females have been tentatively used to separate Cx. torrentium from Cx. pipiens, only male genitalia can be used as a reliable diagnostic character.
