Extract

Forty five species, two subspecies and one variety of Culex occur in the Sudan.

Taxonomic notes are given on a few species, and new localities, mainly for the subgenus Culex, are recorded. The known distribution of all species of this subgenus is shown on maps.

Several aspects of distribution are discussed, and there is a short section on practical importance.
