I think this is Culex annulirostris? Male. Netted, Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image: [48.32Kb] |

The colour of the abdomen suggests Cx. sitiens is more likely, but I'm not sure how much overlap there is in these two species.

Thanks Tony. Yes I believe you are correct. The dorsal abdominal pale bands are more pronounced in the Cx. sitiens I have collected. |
