The inventory of mosquitoes from India has been updated up to December, 2025. Earlier, although many researchers have catalogued the Indian taxa, mostly Anopheles species in adult and larval forms, yet the first well-studied list was produced by TYAGI ET AL. (2015), followed by several updated versions culminating into his significant monograph, in two abridged volumes, “Mosquitoes of India” (TYAGI, 2025a,b) inventorizing altogether a total of 420 species under the family Culicidae, complete up to December 2023. Since then, more than a dozen species, either as new country records or new species, have been added to the list. The present check-list comprising a total of 429 species is up-to-date till December, 2025. Therefore, it ihas been considered commensurate to bring out this inventory primarily for posterity and especially for the emerging young culicidologists. This inventory mentions all species and subspecies irrespective of any taxonomic vagaries or uncertainties associated with any taxon. Members of the sibling species complexes have been avoided as separate taxa, and only described species have been incorporated in the inventory. The entire quantum of species has been fully classified between Family and Species/Subspecies level. All species’ authorities are mentioned with the year of publication including the said species.
