Aedes flavescens
Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Order: Diptera
- Family: Culicidae
- Genus: Aedes
- Species: Aedes flavescens
Visual Description
Aedes flavescens is a mosquito species characterized by its yellowish or golden-brown coloration. Observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset indicate that the species exhibits a distinct, often pale or yellowish appearance, which is reflected in its specific epithet, flavescens.[1] The body typically shows the characteristic morphology of the genus Aedes, including a slender abdomen and well-defined wing venation. Due to the nature of the available imagery, which includes both field observations and museum specimens, finer morphological details such as specific scale patterns on the thorax or abdominal segments may require high-magnification examination for precise identification.[1]
Distribution and Ecology
Aedes flavescens is a species of mosquito recognized within the family Culicidae.[2] It is documented in various biological databases, including the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI).[2][3] The species was originally described by Müller in 1764.[2]
