Sirivanakarn & Jakob (1979) registered the species in Brazil, however this record was considered a misidentification of Culex ribeirensis by Forattini & Sallum (1985) in their description of Culex (Melanoconion) ribeirensis Forattini & Sallum (1985) , also from Brazil. This species was included in the taxonomic revision of Spissipes Section by Sallum & Forattini (1996).
