 Similar to Aedes vigilax but too many differences. Can't find it in the new book. I'll call it Aedes though. Netted, Townsville, Queensland.

 Well, I would have thought this was vigilax. Seems to have most of the diagnostic characters. (But I am looking at the photos, not the specimen! Wink)

 You are probably right. I thought the abdominal markings were quite different though. Compare with this picture which is A. vigilax (female). Also the palps are not tipped with white.

 I feel the differences are OK for intraspecific variation (given that so many of the characters are due to the colour and distribution of deciduous scales)

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
