"Belkin et al. (1970) stated that flaveola (sensu stricto) is probably restricted to the caribbean Basin and that the South American populations, althought belonging to the flaveola complex, appear to be distinct; however, additional material is need to decide the matter." (Mitchell & Darsie, 1985).
Disease relations: Western Equine Encephalitis virus has been isolated from specimens identified as Mansonia spp, in Santa Fe Province between 1982 and 1983 (Sabattini et al., 1998).

Eggs are usually adhered to aquatic plants and larvae get air from them. Adults are large, aggressive biters and mostly zoophilic, but opportunistic in their preferences.
