The replacement name is in honor of Nelson Cerqueira, a Brazilian dipterist who worked in the yellow fever campaigns coordinated by the Rockefeller Foundation and National Yellow Fever Service in Brazil . Along with Raymond Shannon, Nelson Cerqueira was one of the most active entomologists responsible for organizing the mosquito collection that resulted from those campaigns. The specimens used for the descriptions of Sa. shannoni ( Lane & Cerqueira, 1942 ) (as a species of Wyeomyia ) and Sa. harbachi are from that collection. Nelson Cerqueira described several new species of mosquitoes, including the one renamed herein.
