Based on observations of preserved specimens, Aedes echinus exhibits the characteristic morphology of the family Culicidae. The specimens display a slender body structure typical of mosquitoes, with long, delicate legs and narrow, elongated wings. The thorax and abdomen show distinct segmentation, and the head features prominent compound eyes and elongated, thread-like antennae.
