  abstract = {{P}reliminary genetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 ({COI}) gene of specimens initially assigned to the mosquito {A}edes albopictus based on morphology revealed two clusters. {T}his observation led to further genetic and morphological analysis: a total of 86 {S}tegomyia specimens identified morphologically as {A}e. ({S}tegomyia) albopictus, were collected between 2017 and 2019 in {C}ambodia. {T}heir mitochondrial {DNA} {COI} gene and 5.8{S}-{ITS}2 r{DNA} were sequenced for molecular characterization and genetic analysis as well as {W}olbachia presence/type. {I}n 2022, additional {S}tegomyia specimens were collected for {COI} sequencing and morphological characterization. {O}f the 86 {S}tegomyia specimens, 14 specimens had divergent {COI} and 5.8{S}-{ITS}2 sequences compared to other {S}tegomyia species, and were negative for the presence of {W}olbachia, unlike {A}e. albopictus specimens which carried w{A}lb{A} and/or w{A}lb{A} {B} types. {A}dditional trapping in 2022 resulted in the colletion of 11 specimens with similar divergent {COI} and 5.8{S}-{ITS}2 sequences. {S}equence blast results did not match these {COI} and 5.8{S}-{ITS}2 sequences, neither within {S}tegomyia taxa nor other organisms. {L}astly, after morphological examinations, specific characters were observed in adult mosquitoes and male genitalia, allowing the specimens to be described as a new {S}tegomyia species named {A}edes unalom {M}aquart & {H}ide, sp. nov. {T}his species lives in sympatry with other {S}tegomyia species such as {A}e. albopictus or {A}e. aegypti and does not carry {W}olbachia. {T}his new species should be considered as a potential arbovirus vector.},
