From Wikispecies

I graduated, 12 May 2006, from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas (B.S. Entomology). During the summer of 2006, I interned as a vector ecologist for the Community Associations of The Woodland's Environmental Services Department. I was responsible for monitoring encephalitis causing viruses; mainly West Nile Virus (WNV). In addition, I educated the community on personal protection measures and ways to eliminate mosquito breeding sites. On 28 September 2006, I began a Master of Science Program in Entomology at University of California, Riverside, under Dr. William E. Walton. So, I am currently busy being a student. I have been an administrator on Wikispecies since 30 september 2006.

[edit] To Do

• Edit Culicidae articles (2 subfamilies, 12 tribes, 42 genera, 136 subgenera, ~3664 species & subspecies)
  • Create template pages for the family, subfamilies, tribes, genera, and subgenera
  • List all species in respective tribes: Aedeomyiini - Aedini - Anophelini - Culicini - Culisetini - Ficalbiini - Hodgesiini - Mansoniini - Orthopodomyiini - Sabethini - Toxorhynchitini - Uranotaeniini
  • Complete content down to all subgenera: Aedeomyiini - Aedini - Anophelini - Culicini - Culisetini - Ficalbiini - Hodgesiini - Mansoniini - Orthopodomyiini - Sabethini - Toxorhynchitini - Uranotaeniini
  • Double check formatting (references, commas, ampersands) and Add Distributions, Basionyms, Synonyms & References:
    • Aedeomyiini (~6 names, ~6 taxa): Aedeomyia (Aedeomyia) - Aedeomyia (Lepiothauma)
    • Aedini (???? names, ???? taxa): Aedes - Armigeres - Ayurakitia - Eretmapodites - Haemagogus - Heizmannia - Opifex - Psorophora - Tanakaius - Udaya, Verrallina - Zeugnomyia

      • Create species pages for Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles albitarsis, Anopheles anomalophyllus, Anopheles aquasalis, Anopheles deaneorum, and Anopheles dunhami
      • Dissolve Bironella and place taxa under Anopheles (Anopheles)
      • Dissolve Anopheles (Lophopodomyia) and Anopheles (Stethomyia) and place taxa under Anopheles (Anopheles)
      • Perhaps create series pages within these subgenera
    • Culicini (???? names, ~825 taxa): Culex - Deinocerites (18 spp) - Galindomyia (1 spp) - Lutzia
    • Culisetini (?? names, ~35 spp, ?? subspp): Culiseta (Allotheobaldia) - Culiseta (Austrotheobaldia) - Culiseta (Climacura) - Culiseta (Culicella) - Culiseta (Culiseta) - Culiseta (Neotheobaldia)
    • Ficalbiini (?? names, ~55 taxa): Ficalbia - Mimomyia
    • Hodgesiini (14 names, 11 spp, 0 subspp)
    • Mansoniini (113 names, 80 spp, 1 subspp): Coquillettidia (Austromansonia) (1 sp) - Coquillettidia (Coquillettidia) (43 spp) - Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) (13 spp) - Mansonia (Mansonia) (13 spp) - Mansonia (Mansonioides) (10 spp)

    • Toxorhynchitini (~118 names, 84 spp, ~9 subspp): Toxorhynchites (Afrorhynchus) (15 spp) - Toxorhynchites (Ankylorhynchus) (4 spp) - Toxorhynchites (Lynchiella) (14 spp) - Toxorhynchites (Toxorhynchites) (51 spp)
      • Figure out the publication years for the synonym "Megarhina" (Macquart, Walker, Osten-Sacken, Arribalzaga, Giles, Townsend) and other spellings (i.e., Megarrhina or Megarrhinus)
      • Move to Culicinae and dissolve Toxorhynchitinae
    • Uranotaeniini (??? names, 218 spp, ~10 subspp): Uranotaenia (Pseudoficalbia) (109 spp) - Uranotaenia (Uranotaenia) (109 spp)
  • Add Nomen Dubium, Rejected Names, Nomina Nuda, Incertae Sedis, and Fossil species
