Abstract
Culex gelidus Theobald was recorded for the Ist time in Australia in May 19 99 from 2 locations (Brisbane and Mackay, Queensland) approximately 820 km apart. Larval samples were collected from a semipermanent freshwater swamp and an open drain and reared to adults in laboratories. Implications for Au stralia are discussed.
