It includes the largest known species of mosquito, at up to in length and in wingspan. It is among the many kinds of mosquito that do not consume blood.

Elizabeth Nesta Marks
Elizabeth Marks alone or jointly described 38 new mosquito species (for example, "Culiseta arenivaga" Marks, 1968), as well as new species of fruit flies, bugs, cockroaches and ticks. Another 43 species of mosquito identified by her, have yet to be described satisfactorily. She was well known for her practical streak, being able to solve problems with inventive solutions. She was equally famous for her Army metal soup ladle which was used to collect mosquito larvae and as an oar when an outboard motor might break down.
