Resumen: A gynandromorph is an imago combining well-defined male and female structures, caused by different processes, and it is infrequent in wild-caught mosquitoes. A Culex pipiens gynandromorph was caught in La Grajera wetland (La Rioja, Spain) in 2016. The phenotypic sex of wings was determined using linear discriminating analysis and the training error for the model on a previous database of sex-classified wing biometry data. It is suggested that the individual had an uncommon layout categorized as a top quarter male gynandromorph.
