Subgenus Eumelanomyia Theobald

horridus subspecies rageaui View in CoL ( Neoculex horridus var. rageaui Hamon & Rickenbach, 1955 ). Holotype ♂: Nkolbisson, Yaoundé Region, Cameroon (IRD).

Hamon & Rickenbach (1955) described and named Neoculex horridus var. rageaui from six males which have differently developed setae on the subapical lobe of the gonocoxite that distinguish them from males of the nominotypical form. Since the name was proposed expressly for a varietal entity, it is deemed to be subspecific with availability from Hamon & Rickenbach (1955). Stone et al. (1959) listed horridus as a species of Culex (Neoculex) View in CoL and Sirivanakarn (1971) transferred it to subgenus Eumelanomyia .
