在医学昆虫学中，库蚊科处于优势地位，因为最常见和最可怕的热带疾病（疟疾、黄热病等）的携带者属于库蚊科。与这种重要性相一致，自从它们作为载体的作用被发现以来，它们的系统学和生物学就越来越成为科学研究的对象，因此今天人们可以说它们是双翅目中最著名的科。通过Martini（1931）和Edwards（1932）的总结工作，这个家族的系统学达到了一定的高峰和完成。然而，直到今天，完整的物种形成还没有被完全理解。新物种仍在被描述，特别是来自南美洲和太平洋地区。尽管有许多已知的细节，不同物种的生物学知识仍然充满了漏洞。对于某些种类的按蚊来说，这个问题已经得到了最好的解决。在这里，我们感受到应用科学的有限影响，它关注“重要”的物种（载体），而经常忽视“不重要”的无害物种。关于某些寄生虫的分布、繁殖习性和易感性问题以及与它们作斗争的问题，库蚊科已被用于生理学实验，但我们在这方面的知识甚至是非常不完整的。
In medical entomology the Culicidae are in a dominant position because the carriers of the most frequent and feared tropical diseases (malaria, yellow fever, etc.) belong to this group. In accordance with this importance, ever since the discovery of the part they-play as carriers, their systematics and biology have been to an increasing degree the object of scientific research, so that today one can say that they are the best known family within the order Diptera. The systematics of this family has reached a certain peak and completion through the summarizing works of Martini (1931) and Edwards (1932). However, the complete speciation is not fully understood even up to this day. New species are still being described, especially from South America and the Pacific territory. The knowledge of the biology of the different species is still full of loop-holes in spite of many known details. It has been best worked out for some of the Anopheles species. Here we feel the limiting influence of applied science which pays attention to the" important" species (the carriers) but frequently ignores the" unimportant" harmless species. In con-nection with the questions of distribution, breeding habits and susceptibility for certain parasites and the problems of combating them, the Culicidae have been used for physiological experiments, but our knowledge even in this field is very incomplete.
