Edwards, F.W. ( 1921) A revision of the mosquitos of the Palaearctic Region Bulletin of entomological Research
12,263 - 351.
Latin, Creta = Crete
Edwards described this new species on page 325 under the heading " Aedes ( Stegomyia) cretinu 8, sp. n." based
upon two specimens from Crete: "A single female in Herr Lichtwardt's collection, labelled 'Creta. v. O. Culex
calopus, Mg. • •• and a second female from "the Buda-Pest (sic) Museum from Amari, Crete, 4. vi. 1906 ( BirO)".
Hence the species is named after the location from which it was first collected.
