A total of 3,725 extant species of Culicidae are currently formally recognised. They are listed in the PDFs attached below. Species of Aedini are listed in Valid Extant Species of Culicidae according to the phylogenetic classification of Reinert et al. (2009); they are listed in Valid Extant Species (composite Aedes) based on the contemporary polyphyletic classification of the genus Aedes (see Wilkerson et al., 2015, 2021; Harbach, 2018: Section 8; Harbach, 2024). Currently recognized extinct (fossil) species are listed in Valid Fossil Species of Culicidae. Species names (in boldface) are followed by their authorship and year of publication, and this combination is followed by the generic (subgeneric) placement of the species (in boldface indigo). Parentheses around authors' names and dates indicate that a species is currently placed in a genus other than the one in which the author(s) originally placed it.
