This document contains a working draft of the updated identification guide to the medically important mosquitoes of Louisiana. Included are illustrated dichotomous keys to the genera, and to the adult females and 4th instar larvae of the medically important species in each genus. Also included are illustrated guides to the anatomical terms used in the text of the keys. The keys and illustrations were adapted from existing taxonomic keys in the literature.
