- araozi Shannon and Del Ponte
"A synonym, Coquillettidia araozi Shannon & Del Ponte 1928, was described from specimens collected in Ledesma, Jujuy, III-20-26 by Davis and Shannon (Dyar 1928; Castro & Bressanello 1952b; Belkin et al. 1968; Knight & Stone1977)." (Mitchell & Darsie, 1985).
Disease relations: The Mayaro and the Oropouche viruses were isolated from specimens of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in Trinidad (Anderson et al., 1961), and the same mosquito species was able to harbor the Mayaro virus after experimental parenteral infection (Muñoz & Navarro, 2012).

Eggs usually adhered to aquatic plants and larvae get air from them. Coquillettidia venezuelensis have been collected with Coquillettidia juxtamansonia, Coquillettidia albicosta, Mansonia titillans and Mansonia pseudotitillans sharing the same breeding places. Adults are large, aggressive biters and mostly zoophilic, but opportunistic in their preferences.
