Medical Definition of Culicidae
1. A family of the order diptera that comprises the mosquitoes. The larval stages are aquatic, and the adults can be recognised by the characteristic wing venation, the scales along the wing veins, and the long proboscis. Many species are of particular medical importance. (12 Dec 1998)
