Abstract
Mosquitoes of the genus Uranotaenia Lynch Arribalzaga include 271 species classified in two subgenera, Pseudoficalbia Theobald (150 species) and the nominotypical subgenus (121 species; Peyton 1972, Harbach 2022). Species of [...]
A new species of the subgenus Pseudoficalbia of the genus Uranotaenia is described from larvae found in a hole in a log at high altitude in montane forest in the Mongar District of Bhutan. Based on morphology, the larvae are sufficiently distinct from other species of the subgenus to be described and formally named here as Uranotaenia bhutanensis Somboon, Namgay & Harbach, n. sp.The species is a member of the Bimaculata Series. The chaetotaxy of the fourth-instar larva is provided. Keywords: larva, mosquito, taxonomy
