Made in the United States of Amwica AEDES GOULDI, A NEW SPECIES OF THE SUBGENUS AEDIMORPHUS

ABSTRACT-The female of Aedes (Aedimorphus) gouldi, n. sp. from West Pakistan is described and illustrated. The relationship of gouldi to closely related species is discussed. The subgenus Aedimorphus Theobald of the genus Aedes Meigen is confined primarily to the African, Oriental and Pacific Islands Regions. During the course of work on a revision of the subgenus in Southeast Asia, material of the present new species was encountered in the U.S. National Museum collection. Although West Pakistan lies outside of the area included in the Southeast Asia revisionary study, the new species aids in an understanding of the subgenus within this area. The nomenclature and chaetotaxy used for the adult follow Belkin ( 1962) and the terminology of the female genitalia follows Coher (1948). Aedes (Aedimorphus) gouldi, n. sp
