No, that's incorrect. False taxonomy. Still C. pipiens; or has always been a distinct species.

No, they are a different species.

Based on what observation?

Multiple trials were conducted where C. molestus mated with C. pipies. No offspring were produced, at all.

Analysis of C. molestus's genetic material also indicates that it's diverged from C. pipiens. Genetic pedigrees also indicate that there's a clear divergence of species.

...the London Underground is not an isolated environment at all... Mosquitoes are actually more free to enter and leave than humans are!

Looking at pedigrees of the underground mosquitoes, it seems that there hasn't been any gene flow.

BTW . . . you sure that this species isn't really Culex Molestus from Australia?

Yes. C. molestus in the Underground is different from C. molestus elsewhere in the world. Now that's bad taxonomy.

No, they've generated new individuals.

So HIV is not a different species from the similar chimpanzee virus? You're the first person I've heard to believe that.

There isn't enough variety among such creatures to determine species;

How do you differentiate between species of asexually-reproducing lifeforms, then?

Nor has any such species turned into a so-called higher form of life.

The fossil record clearly indicates that's not the case. Various dating methods clearly indicate a evolutionary progression of lifeforms.
