Culex (Culex) inflictus Theobald
This species is known from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela and in the Lesser Antilles at least as far north as Guadeloupe. Records from Cuba, the Virgin Islands, and Grenada have not been verified. This is the first report of its occurrence on Dominica. The larvae are found in crabholes and similar ground pools near the coast. Nothing is known of the biology of the adult.
