Highlights
Genus Culex Ennaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) is re~resentedby 37 valid species classified under 5 subgenera in Sri Lanka.l It is second only to genus Aedes in terms: of the number of species present in the island
Recent taxonomic revisions of the genus have resulkdin a number of publications that provide detailed species descriptions and subgenus or species-group based keys to the regional f a ~ n a, ~'l . many species of which are represented in Sri Lanka
The following species of genus Culex are treated in this work: (a) Subgenus Culex Linnaeus: bitaeniorhynchus Giles, fuscocephala Theobald, gelidus Theobald, hutchinsoni Barraud, infila Theobald, jacksoni Edwards, mimulus Edwards, pseudovishnui Colless, quinquefasciatus Say, sinensis
Summary
Genus Culex Ennaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) is re~resentedby 37 valid species classified under 5 subgenera in Sri Lanka.l It is second only to genus Aedes in terms: of the number of species present in the island. Species of which are represented in Sri Lanka. These taxonomic works are not available to local workers; they deal with a much larger fauna than is present in the island. T+e present paper, provides keys for the identific~tionopthe adult stage (male and female) of all known species of genus. Culex in Sri La-ka, as a guide t3 workers who need to identify species or this genus during the course of research or disease surveillance
