Aedes (Ochlerotatus)
''Ochlerotatus'' is a genus of mosquito. Until 2000, it was ranked as a subgenus of ''Aedes'' but was reclassified as a distinct genus based on taxonomic studies. This change resulted in the renaming of many subgenus species, and revisions of related taxa in the Aedini tribe are ongoing. Some authors, however, still use traditional taxonomic names in their publications. Taxonomy ''Ochlerotatus'' was originally established as a genus in 1891.Félix Lynch Arribálzaga. 1891. Dipterologia Argentina, Culicidae. '' Revista del Museo de la Plata'', i: 345–377; p. 374. In 1917, a researcher by the name of Edwards transferred it to the aedine subgenus; however, as of 2000, ''Ochlerotatus'' has resumed its role as a genus (a revision made by Reinhert, due to common traits in genitalia). Based on taxonomic characteristics, many species and subgenera of ''Aedes'' mosquitoes have been transferred to the ''Ochlerotatus'' genus. After a contentious worldwide debate regarding the effect th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Aedes Andersoni
''Aedes'' (also known as the tiger mosquito) is a genus of mosquitoes originally found in tropical and subtropical zones, but now found on all continents except Antarctica. Some species have been spread by human activity: ''Aedes albopictus'', a particularly invasive species, was spread to the Americas, including the United States, in the 1980s, by the used-tire trade. It was first described and named by German entomologist Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818; the generic name comes from Ancient Greek (), meaning 'unpleasant' or 'odious'. The type species for ''Aedes'' is ''Aedes cinereus''.. Systematics and phylogeny The genus was named by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818. The generic name comes from the Ancient Greek , , meaning 'unpleasant' or 'odious'. As historically defined, the genus contains more than 950 species (see the list of ''Aedes'' species). The genus has been divided into several subgenera (''Aedes'', '' Diceromyia'', ''Finlaya'', ''Stegomyia'', etc.), most of w ...

Aedes Bimaculatus
''Aedes bimaculatus'' is a species of mosquito in the genus ''Aedes'', belonging to the family Culicidae. It was first described in 1902 by American entomologist Daniel William Coquillett. This mosquito is known for its distinctive bright orange coloration and has been recorded in specific regions of North America, particularly in parts of Texas and northeastern Mexico. Taxonomy ''Aedes bimaculatus'' was originally described by Daniel William Coquillett in 1902. Taxonomic revisions have led some researchers to propose its reclassification into the genus ''Ochlerotatus'', based on morphological characteristics. However, many sources continue to recognize it as an ''Aedes'' species. Its historical synonyms include ''Ochlerotatus bimaculatus'' and ''Culex bimaculatus''. Description ''Aedes bimaculatus'' is a medium- to large-sized mosquito with a distinctive bright orange appearance. Key identifying features include: * Hind tarsomeres that are entirely dark scaled. * A yellow s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aedes Atlanticus
''Aedes atlanticus'' is a species of mosquito native to the southeastern United States. It is known for carrying a number of pathogens that can infect humans, most notably yellow fever. Description ''Aedes atlanticus'' is a medium-sized mosquito with prominent white stripes on its abdomen. The females of this species are pestiferous, like their aptly named close cousin ''Aedes tormentor''. In addition to being a vector of yellow fever, the mosquito can carry the Keystone virus, which is common in small animals in Florida, and may be common among humans with only minor symptoms, though only two cases have been verified, as of June 2018. ''Aedes atlanticus'' mosquitoes are widespread and common in the southeast US, from Texas and southern Missouri all the way through Maryland. Their reproductive cycle can carry some viruses transstadially through the different stages of the insect's life: a female mosquito may lay eggs carrying the virus, which hatch into infected larvae, event ...
