Culex pipiens: Species Versus Species Complex – Taxonomic History and Perspective

1 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

The taxonomic history of Culex pipiens (1758-present) is reviewed. The central question is whether Cx. pipiens is a single polytypic species or a complex of sibling species? The taxon traditionally known as the Cx. pipiens complex is referred to as the Pipiens Assemblage to avoid difficulties associated with the meaning of the word "complex". Neotype specimens have been designated to fix the morphological...
