A bilateral gynandromorph of Aedes (Ochlerotatus) punctor (Kirby, 1837) from Germany (Diptera, Culicidae)

Abstract

A completely bilateral gynandromorph of Aedes (Ochlerotatus) punctor, reared from a larva collected from a natural habitat in the German Volcanic Eifel region, is described and figured. In dorsal view, its right side is of female, the left side of male morphology. Only the external genitalia appear to be a mosaic, with male hypopygia dominating.
