We present here an update checklist increases the number of Culicidae species in Romania from 50 to 60, split into 7 genera: Aedes (29 species), Anopheles (10 species), Coquillettidia (2 species), Culex (9 species), Culiseta (8 species), Orthopodomyia (1 species) and Uranotaenia (1 species). Additionally, 20 new faunistic records to different regions of Romania, mostly from Transylvania.
