Mosquitoes are undeniably one of the most studied groups of insects
due to their great impact on human health as the agents that
transmit the pathogens which cause malaria, filariasis and numerous
viral diseases, such as yellow fever and dengue fever. The study of
mosquitoes has given rise to a plethora of names for subspecies,
species, subgenera, genera and family-level groups, many of which
are duplicate names for the same entity. This unique volume is a
comprehensive compilation of all scientific names introduced at all
levels of classification within the family since the official start
of zoological nomenclature. The work is largely a lexicon that is
historical and informative as well as nomenclatural and
bibliographic. Unlike catalogues, it contains sections devoted
separately to the groups of names regulated by the International
Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the species, genus and family
groups, as well as sections concerned with names derived from
personal and geographical names and other sources. In addition to
insights into the history of mosquito classification, attention
given to the formation, latinization and derivation of names makes
the work a crucial contribution to mosquito science. Culicipedia is
an important comprehensive reference source for students,
entomologists, professional taxonomists and other scientists
interested in culicid nomenclature, classification and the
etymology of scientific names.
