Description
Oculeomyia Theobald, 1907
TYPE SPECIES: Oculeomyia sarawaki Theobald, 1907 (synonymy with Culex infula Theobald, 1901 by Sirivanakarn 1976).
SYNONYM:
Trichopronomyia Theobald, 1905 (type species: T. annulata Theobald, 1905; synonymy with Culex squamosus (Taylor, 1914) by Edwards 1924).
INCLUDED SPECIES: Culex albinervis Edwards, 1929; Cx. annulioris Theobald, 1901; Cx. aurantapex Edwards, 1914; Cx. bitaeniorhynchus Giles, 1901a; Cx. consimilis Newstead, 1907; Cx. cornutus Edwards, 1922; Cx. ellinorae Ovazza, Hamon & Neri, 1956; Cx. epidesmus (Theobald, 1910); Cx. geminus Colless, 1955; Cx. giganteus Ventrillon, 1906; Cx. infula Theobald, 1901; Cx. kinabaluensis Sirivanakarn, 1976; Cx. longicornis Sirivanakarn, 1976; Cx. luzonensis Sirivanakarn, 1976; Cx. major Edwards, 1935; Cx. pseudosinensis Colless, 1955; Cx. samoaensis (Theobald, 1914); Cx. selangorensis Sirivanakarn, 1976; Cx. sinensis Theobald, 1903a; Cx. squamosus (Taylor, 1914); Cx. starckeae Stone & Knight, 1958.
With the exclusion of Cx. (Lsi.) poicilipes (Theobald, 1903a), the subgenus Oculeomyia now includes 22 species. However, it should be noted that Lee et al. (1989), without explanation, listed Cx. samoaensis as a species of the Sitiens Group without placement in a subgroup. Despite being known from only three adult females (one lost), Belkin (1962) noted that “ C. samoaensis seems to be a distinct species” but it was “possible that samoaensis is the Samoan representative of albinervis, which it closely resembles.” However, until proven otherwise, Cx. samoaensis should continue to be classified as a species of the subgenus Oculeomyia.
