Morphometrical study on male genitalia and female wing venation of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Baghdad origin) and Culex pipiens molestus Forskal (Mosul, 450km north of Baghdad) revealed that these mosquitoes can be differentiated from each other. Measurements of the dorsal (D) and ventral (V) arms of the phallosome (male genitalia) demonstrated that the ratios of D/V for Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. p. molestus were 0.337 and 1.434 respectively and the ratios of DV/D were 1.054 and -1.137 respectively on average. The measurements of R-cell and M-cell ratios of the right wing of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. p. molestus showed that their means were 303.08 and 347.66 (R-cell) and 185.02 and 170.17 (M-cell) respectively. These values were significantly different between Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. p. molestus with marginal error in the R-cell and M-cell ratios.
