abstract = "Male specimens of Aedes stenostylus Cornel, Kowo & Mayi sp. nov. and Aedes leptolabis ssp. talangayensis Cornel, Kowo & Mayi sp. nov. are described. They were collected mainly by sweep netting through forest floor vegetation in partially logged areas and in the surrounding pristine forest (Talangaye Forest) in the Nguti Subdivision in the south-west region of Cameroon. An updated key of the Aedimorphus “Domesticus group” species, based on the morphology of the male genitalia is provided.",

note = "Funding Information: We thank funders of the USAID PEER grant (4-360 grant awarded AID 0AA-11-00012) which paid salaries and field trip costs for Cameroon students and University faculty to collect mosquitoes in the field. We also thank the National Geographic Society (grant # 983616) for funding AJC to travel to assist in the collection of mosquito and bird blood samples. We are also grateful for the financial assistance awarded to Marie Paul Audrey Mayi from the National Geographic Society (grant # WW-117ER-17) that paid for her to travel to the field sites and to purchase field collecting equipment, mosquito preservation reagents and consumables. Marie Paul Audrey Mayi also received financial assistance from the National Geographic Society ({\textquoteleft}{\textquoteright}Support for Women and Dependent Care-1399) for a visit to AJC{\textquoteright}s laboratory to assist in the examination of specimens and preparation of this manuscript. We equally wish to thank Dr Kevin Njabo for facilitating the training of students on the necessary quantitative analytical skills. Ethical approval for the use of chickens and pigeons as mosquito baits for the net traps was obtained from the Animal Care and Use SubCommittee, Research Ethics Committee, University of Buea, IACUC Protocol number UB-AP_2015-004.
