Bironella confusa is a mosquito species in the genus Bironella. It has been placed in different subgenera, including Neobironella.[2][3]
Taxonomy
The species was first described in 1951 by J. Bonne-Wepster, who showed that a male specimen had previously been wrongly described as Bironella soesiloi (a synonym of Bironella derooki), and so published a new name, Bironella confusa.[4] A 1963 paper placed the species in subgenus Bironella.[4] In 1977, it was placed in a new subgenus Neobironella.[2]
