Interpretive Summary: There are 40 genera and 134 subgenera of mosquitoes currently recognized. A revised and updated list of 2-letter abbreviations for genera and 3-letter abbreviations for subgenera is provided for this medically important group of biting insects. The use of short, standardized generic and subgeneric abbreviations facilitate the recognition of each taxon and reduce printed space in tables, lists, descriptions, specimen labels, etc. and provide an advantage in computer studies. The study was conducted at the Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology, Gainesville, Florida.
