  abstract = {{T}he {C}ulex pipiens mosquito complex is a group of evolutionarily closely related species including {C}. pipiens and {C}ulex quinquefasciatus, both infected by the cytoplasmically inherited {W}olbachia symbiont. {A} {W}olbachia-uninfected population of {C}. pipiens was however described in {S}outh {A}frica and was recently proposed to represent a cryptic species. {I}n this study, we reconsidered the existence of this species by undertaking an extensive screening for the presence of {W}olbachia-uninfected {C}. pipiens specimens and by characterizing their genetic relatedness with known members of the complex. {W}e first report on the presence of {W}olbachia-uninfected specimens in several breeding sites. {W}e next confirm that these uninfected specimens unambiguously belong to the {C}. pipiens complex. {R}emarkably, all uninfected specimens harbour mitochondrial haplotypes that are either novel or identical to those previously found in {S}outh {A}frica. {I}n all cases, these mitochondrial haplotypes are closely related, but different, to those found in other {C}. pipiens complex members known to be infected by {W}olbachia. {A}ltogether, these results corroborate the presence of a widespread cryptic species within the {C}. pipiens species complex. {T}he potential role of this cryptic {C}. pipiens species in the transmission of pathogens remains however to be determined. {T}he designation '{C}ulex juppi nov. sp.' is proposed for this mosquito species.},
