7. Culex americanus ( Neveu-Lemaire, 1902: 23) View in CoL (F; Aedeomyia ).
Type F: Cunani, [Amapá], [ Brazil] ( NE); coll. C. Mathis; Jan. 1901.
Culex americanus was designated a nomen dubium by Belkin (1968: 13), who established that its type material, originally deposited in the FMP, is non-extant. The type locality of Cx. americanus was known as the capital of the Republic of Independent Guyana, a territory disputed by France and Brazil in the late 19th century. Although this nominal species was originally described from French Guiana, the village of Cunani (Counani, orth. var.) is currently included within the Brazilian state of Amapá.
8. Aedes draconarius Dyar, 1922: 194 (M, F). Lectotype M: Saint-Laurent, Maroni River , French Guiana (NMNH*); coll. E. Brimont; 1909.
Aedes draconarius was synonymized with Ae. fluviatilis (Lutz) by Dyar (1928: 219) and the lectotype designated by Stone & Knight (1957: 201). The paralectotypes are separately deposited in the NMNH (one female) and the MNHP (three males and one female) ( Stone & Knight 1957: 201).
