They are generally conspicuously ornamented with shining metallic scales.[3][4] The antennae of the females of some Sabethes species have long, dense, flagellar whorls resembling those of the males of most other genera of mosquitoes.[4]
Sabethes species mosquitoes occur in Central and South America.[5]
