The present study was conducted to determine the diversity of mosquito species in India.. Mosquito fauna in the world 3700 species belong to 112 genera. In India 393 species of mosquitoes are occurring. The subfamily Anophelinae contains 61 species in one genus followed by Culicinae with 332 species in 11 tribes and 48 genera. The tribe Aedini (subfamily Culicinae) contains the highest number of species (176 species in 33 genera and two groups of incertae sedis; i.e., “Aedes” sensu auctorum and “Ochlerotatus” sensu auctorum). With the recent taxonomic changes in tribe Aedini, the Indian mosquito genera have gone up from 22 to 49. Changes to the Indian Aedini fauna subsequent to the reclassification of tribe Aedini are discussed. A total of 31 species are currently recognized in India for transmitting various mosquito borne agents of human diseases..Mosquitoes `` important vectors responsible for spreading various diseases in human population. They belong to family Culicidinae of order Diptera. Mosquitoes are very efficient vector of human diseases today. Mosquitoes are potential vector of malaria, dengue and other diseases are elephantiasis, lymphatic filariasis etc. Environmental factors impact on mosquito species diversity. India rank fifth in terms of mosquito biodiversity after Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
