Culex coronator is a Neotropical mosquito species that was first described in Trinidad in the early 20th century. Since then, the species has been discovered from Patagonia to the southern USA. A single adult female Cx. coronator was collected on November 1, 2016, in Suffolk, VA, in a BG-Sentinel 2® trap during routine mosquito surveillance. This represents the 1st record of this species in the state of Virginia and the northernmost record in the USA. Based on male specimens examined from Texas and Mississippi, Cx. coronator sensu stricto seems to be the only species from the complex expanding into the southeastern USA. A comprehensive review of the available literature from the southern and southeastern USA is provided describing trapping methods, ecological, and biological information.
冠库蚊是一种新热带地区的蚊种，于20世纪初在特立尼达首次被描述。从那时起，该物种已在从巴塔哥尼亚到美国南部被发现。2016年11月1日，在弗吉尼亚州萨福克郡的一次常规蚊虫监测中，通过BG-Sentinel 2®诱捕器捕获了一只成年雌性冠库蚊。这是该物种在弗吉尼亚州的首次记录，也是在美国最北端的记录。基于对来自德克萨斯州和密西西比州的雄性标本的检查，狭义冠库蚊似乎是该复合种中唯一扩展到美国东南部的物种。本文全面综述了美国南部和东南部的现有文献，描述了诱捕方法、生态和生物学信息。
