RECLASSIFICATION OF AEDINI View in CoL View at ENA
Where it is not possible to assign species confidently to any of the proposed genera, they are retained for the time being in the old broad concept of the genus-level taxon in which they were previously placed. For example, those unassigned species previously placed in Ochlerotatus (Finlaya) are listed under ‘ Ochlerotatus ’ sensu auctorum, subgenus ‘ Finlaya ’ Theobald, 1903 sensu auctorum. The checklist includes all species recognized as valid at the end of October 2003. Where necessary, the terminations of species names have been changed to agree in gender with generic names in accordance with Articles 31.2 and 34.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999). Footnotes pertaining to a few taxa are listed below (before the checklist).
Notes
1 Edwards (1924) synonymized nocturnus Theobald, 1903 with vexans Meigen, 1830 . Belkin (1962) provisionally elevated nocturnus to species rank, but recognized its status as uncertain. Reinert (1973a) formally synonymized nocturnus with vexans and indicated that morphological characters of specimens from islands of the Pacific and Southeast Asian populations fell within the range of characters for this taxon elsewhere within its distribution. Lee et al. (1982) chose to ‘retain nocturnus as a species partly because the synonymizing of nocturnus under vexans gives vexans an extraordinary wide distribution far greater than that achieved by any other non-domestic species.’ The latter action is unjustified because it was not supported with diagnostic or differential data of any type; therefore, nocturnus should remain a synonym of vexans .
2 The status of several species treated by Edwards (1917) is confusing. On pages 202 and 203, he indicated that genus Aedes included subgenera Armigeres , Stegomyia , Ochlerotatus , Aedes and Skusea . It is obvious that this was Edwards’ intended usage of these names. However, on pages 206 and 208 he described durhami and maiae as new species of genus Armigeres . We regard this usage by Edwards as a lapsis calmi. Similar lapsis calmi also occur on pages 209- 224 for the other subgenera of Aedes treated by Edwards.
3 Reinert (1990) synonymized leucopleurus Rozeboom, 1946 with Aedes aureostriatus Doleschall, 1857 . This formal act has been overlooked since it was published.
4 Leicester (1908) provided a brief description of Aioretomyia perdita from his memory of a single specimen that was previously lost. Because no type specimen exists and the species has not been reported in literature during the past 95 years, its identity is doubtful and it is herein considered a nomen dubium .
