Dear Kapila,

The identification of the specimen is quite difficult due to the quality of the pictures. Did you sampled it in coastal zones?

I suggest you to use the MosKeyTool which is a new free key used for mosquitoe identification

I attach you a file about how to install it

Best regards

Dear Carlos,

Thank you for your answer. Highly appreciate it. Moreover I will use the Moskey tool.

They are bigger in size compared to typical mosquitoes found here. interesting fact is that they were only found within a three weeks time period and seems to have disappeared. Now we are having trouble with collecting samples. 

Try others methods for collection? May be it help.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer the question too, the picture is not in suitable for enlargement, to be able to see certain body parts of the mosquito (number of hair

It is difficult to identify because the photo is not showing the details.
