Abstract
A new species of the subgenus Culiciomyia Theobald of the genus Culex Linnaeus is described from larvae found in a stream margin in Umling Gewog, Sarpang District of Bhutan. Based on morphology, the larvae are sufficiently distinct from the larvae of other species of the subgenus to be described and formally named here as Culex sarpangensis Somboon, Namgay & Harbach, sp. nov. The species is a member of the Fragilis Group. The fourth-instar larva is described, illustrated and compared with similar larvae of other species.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
