Culicomorpha
Sign in to saveThe Culicomorpha are an infraorder of Nematocera, including mosquitoes, black flies, and several extant and extinct families of insects. They originated 176 million years ago, in the Early Jurassic period. There are phylogenetic patterns that are used to interpret bionomic features such as differences in the nature of blood-feeding by adult females, daytime or nighttime feeding by adult females, and occurrence of immature stages in aquatic habitats.

Culicomorpha Hennig, 1948, è un infraordine di insetti appartenente all'ordine dei Ditteri, sottordine Nematocera. Vi sono comprese le comuni zanzare. Malgrado la presenza di specie non ematofaghe, questo raggruppamento è di interesse prevalentemente medico-sanitario, per l'importanza delle famiglie più rappresentative, in genere associate all'Uomo o agli animali domestici. Marginale è invece l'interesse dal punto di vista agrario.
