Culex bitaeniorhynchus, reported from New Caledonia after a single collection of larvae in Noumea in 1952, has been found in two other localities, on the south-west and on the north-east coasts. The morphological features show some differences between the local population and the forms from the Oriental Region. Adults have been caught during the hot and rainy season, by light traps mainly. The females have been very rarely collected on human bait. Though found naturally infected by dengue 4 virus, that species is not likely to have an epidemiological importance in New Caledonia. It seems doubtful that it has been imported recently.
带喙库蚊于1952年在努美阿仅采集到一次幼虫后被报道出现于新喀里多尼亚，之后在另外两个地方被发现，分别位于西南海岸和东北海岸。当地种群与来自东方地区的形态有所不同。成虫是在炎热多雨季节捕获的，主要是通过灯光诱捕器。极少在人饵上采集到雌蚊。尽管发现该物种自然感染登革4型病毒，但在新喀里多尼亚它似乎不具有流行病学重要性。它近期是否被引入仍存疑。
