A total of 3,505 species of Culicidae are currently recognized. Nine species published by Dong et al. (2004) appear to be manuscript names, i.e. nomina nuda, but are included in the list until their status is clarified.
The names of the 3,505 species are listed alphabetically in the pdf attached below. Species names (in boldface) are followed by their authorship and year of publication, and this combination is followed by the current generic (subgeneric) placement of the species (in boldface indigo). The ‘current’ generic placement of aedine species is based on the classification of tribe Aedini proposed by Reinert et al. (2004, 2006). ‘Traditional’ generic and subgeneric affiliations of aedine species, i.e. those recognized prior to and including the separation of Ochlerotatus and Aedes by Reinert (2000), are indicated in square brackets following current generic names. Species formerly placed in genera Aedes and Ochlerotatus (Reinert, 2000) that are regarded as incertae sedis within tribe Aedini are listed as belonging to a ‘traditional’ ‘genus (subgenus)’ to indicate their uncertain generic and subgeneric placement in the current classification of the tribe.
