Abstract: | <p>This article is the ninth in a series to be published in the Bulletin to explain the names of European mosquitoes. For each entry the name of the taxon is given together with the author, date and reference of the original description. There is also either a quotation from the original description, translated where necessary, or a resume indicating the author's reason for using the name. Where appropriate, a brief explanation of the etymology is provided. In some cases the reason for naming the species may not be clear and correspondence to the author is invited. Further explanations will be published as letters to the editors in future issues of the Bulletin.</p> |
