Aedes tortilis is a species of mosquito within the family Culicidae. It was originally described by Theobald in 1903 as Culex tortilis[2].
While specific morphological traits are difficult to resolve from the available museum specimen images in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, the specimens exhibit the characteristic body form of the family Culicidae, including a slender abdomen, distinct thorax, and elongated appendages typical of mosquitoes[1].
