Temporarily dizzy female mosquito, after attacking me and being slapped away (she did recover). Any idea of the genus? I cannot even decide if it is a Culicine or an Anopheline. Our gallery is very scarce in mosquitos.

Thanks,

Short palpi point t Culicinae, but i'm not sure if that's still valid, regards
