 ABSTRACT

External genitalic structures are more important for species diagnosis in insects then is any other
character. These structures are highly species specific in mosquito species. Scanning Electron
Microscopic studies has been conducted on external genitalia of two species of genus Culex Linnaeus i.e.
Culex (Culex) univittatus Giles and Culex (Culex) bitaeniorhynchus Theobald for the first time to study
various ultra structures present on external genitalia.
Key words: Scanning Electron Microscope, genitalia, Culex univittatus and Culex bitaeniorhynchus.
