I have collected some mosquito larvae from different breeding sites in Egypt. Most of them are native to Egypt. I found in on place, larvae look like Culex torrentium according to the classification key of Harbach (1985) (saddle seta 1-x and seta 1 on abdominal segments 3-5). However, we know that this species is not present in Egypt. So, I appreciate if a mosquito taxonomist can look at the attached captures to tell me the right classification of this larva and whether it really belongs to Cx. torrentium or to Culex pipiens.
with regards,

You can perform it via Bayesian parametric classification, OR SVM, K-Nearest neighbour clustering methods or mixture methods. See for example dogs classification : https://medium.com/nanonets/how-to-easily-build-a-dog-breed-image-classification-model-2fd214419cde
Try simple classification techniques, In your case, Logistic Regression or Decision Tree (CART) should work fine.
Dear Wesam Salaheldien Meshrif
You can get help to identify the mosquitoes by the key " The fauna of British India including Ceylon and Burma'' by Christopher (1933). Please see attached file. thanks
