Aedes malayensis was first described in 1963 by Australian entomologist Donald Henry Colless as a subspecies of Aedes scutellaris from males collected at Pulau Hantu, Keppel Harbor, Singapore.[1][2] In 1972 the subspecies was elevated to species status by Yiau-Min Huang,[3] although the move was disputed by the original describer on biological as opposed to morphological principles.[4]
