Abstract: | <p>This article is the second in a series to be published in the Bulletin to add meaning to the names of European mosquitoes. The first article appeared in issue number 3, pages 12-13. For each entry the name of the taxon is given together with the author and date and the reference to 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 in question. Where appropriate, a brief explanation of the etymology is provided. In some cases the explanation is not clear and correspondence to the author is invited and additional information will be included in future issues of the Bulletin as letters to the editors.</p> |
