The internal classification of the cosmopolitan and medically important genus Culex is thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect the multitude of taxonomic changes and concepts which have been published since the classification was last compiled by Edwards in 1932. Both formal and informal taxa are included. The classification is intended to aid researchers and students who are interested in analyzing species relationships, making group comparisons and testing phylogenetic hypotheses. The genus includes 768 formally recognized species divided among 26 subgenera. Many of the subgenera are subdivided hierarchically into nested informal groups of morphologically similar species that are believed to represent monophyletic lineages based on morphological similarity. The informal groupings proposed by researchers include Sections, Series, Groups, Lines, Subgroups and Complexes, which are unlikely to be phylogenetically equivalent categories among the various subgenera.
对世界性和医学上重要的库蚊属的内部分类进行了彻底的回顾和更新，以反映自 1932 年爱德华兹最后一次编纂分类以来出版的大量分类学变化和概念。包括正式和非正式分类单元。该分类旨在帮助对分析物种关系、进行群体比较和检验系统发育假设感兴趣的研究人员和学生。该属包括 768 种正式承认的物种，分为 26 个亚属。许多亚属按层次结构进一步细分为形态相似的物种的非形式分组，这些分组被认为基于形态相似性代表单系谱系。研究人员提出的非正式分组包括节、系列、组、线、亚组和复合体，它们在不同的亚属中不太可能是系统发育上等同的类别。
