Sabethes or canopy mosquitos are primarily an arboreal genus, breeding in plant cavities. The type species is Sabethes locuples, first described by Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy in 1827.
They are generally conspicuously ornamented with shining metallic scales. The antennae of the females of some Sabethes species have long, dense, flagellar whorls resembling those of the males of most other genera of mosquitoes.
Sabethes species mosquitoes occur in Central and South America.




Medical importance


Sabethes chloropterus has been found infected with St. Louis encephalitis virus and Ilhéus virus, and transmits yellow fever virus to humans.
