Frederick Arthur Askew Skuse, son of Thomas Edmund and Jane Skuse, was christened on 17 June 1866 at Saint Mary’s, Portsea, Portsmouth, England.[1]

He studied at the Natural History Museum in London before leaving for Australia in 1886. He found a position at the Australian Museum in Sydney and worked on the Australian flies collection.

He was the first to scientifically describe the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, which he named Culex albopictus.[2]
