Extract

One hundred and fifty six species, two subspecies and seven varieties of Culicidae are known to occur in the Sudan. The present paper shows the known distribution of members of the genera Dixa, Chaoborus, Toxorhynchites, Harpa-gomyia, Hodgesia, Uranotaenia, Aëdomyia, Theobaldia, Ficalbia, Taeniorhynchus and Eretmapodites, and includes taxonomic and other notes on several species.

Some aspects of distribution are discussed, particularly the exchange of species between the Ethiopian and Palaearctic Regions in which movement has been mainly from the latter to the former.

Brief notes are given on the practical importance of some species.
