Aedes cacozelus is a species of mosquito in the genus Aedes. It is a rare and large mosquito only known from south-west Western Australia and the type locality of Darkan. [1] [2]

The binomial name of A. cacozelus means 'a bad imitator', and refers to its partial resemblance of A. stricklandi. [1]

Scutal scales are also a dark bronzy brown, scattered with white patches. Mottling on the wings and legs, all femora have white kneespots. [1]

No males or larvae were discovered. [1] [2]
