Abstract

A total of 412 extant species and subspecies of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) classified under 50 genera and three subfamilies from India are synoptically discussed. Annotations on taxonomic status of a few taxa are also made with a view to settle their position. This paper describes the historical background of varied researches on Indian mosquitoes with their major resource museums and repositories in the country.
