Abstract
A new species of the subgenus Hulecoeteomyia of the genus Aedes reared from pupae found with two larvae in a small pool on a log in mountainous forest of Bhutan is diagnosed and formally named Aedes bhutanensis Somboon & Harbach, n. sp. The specific status of the species is supported by differential morphological characters of females, larvae and pupae, and sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene. Dichotomous keys are provided for identification of the adult females and larvae of the species of the subgenus.Entities:
