Abstract

Culex (Culex) saltanensis is redescribed in the adult, pupal, and larval stages. The male genitalia, pupae, and 4th-stage larvae are illustrated. Information about distribution, bionomics, and taxonomy is included. Culex saltanensis adults are separated from the closely related species Cx. (Cux.) coronator on the basis of morphometric characters.
