Redescription of Aedes (Stegomyia) calceatus Edwards and Description of a New Afrotropical Species, Aedes (Stegomyia) ledgeri (Diptera: Culicidae)

摘要

The adult male and female of Aedes (Stegomyia) calceatus Edwards are redescribed and illustrated from Edwards' holotype and the existing paratypes in the British Museum (Natural History) and the United States National Museum. A new species, Aedes (Stegomyia) ledgeri, is described and illustrated. Diagnostic characters for separating ledgers from closely allied species are given. The distributions (based on examined specimens) of ledgeri and calceatus are presented.
