• Have white band at the center of the proboscis EXCEPT:
• Culex hutchinsoni
• Culex fuscocephale
• The abdomen is all dark colour
• Culex quinquefasciatus 
• The tergite's abdomen have white base and dark apical

• Without bristles at mesopimeron, if present very weak (~ 1-3 bristles)

• Abdomen part:
• the tergite have white base and dark apical

 4. Species of Culex:

• Culex quinquefasciatus

no centre white band at the proboscis

• Culex fuscocephale

No center white band at the tergite of the abdomen like Culex quinquifasciatus. The abdomen is all dark.

• Culex gelidus - 2/3 of the sputum cover with white scale.

Culex gelidus

• Culex vishnui
• Culex pseudovishnui
• Culex tritaeniorhyncus
