1908, American Motherhood, volumes 26-27, Crist, Scott & Parshall, page 392:Janet was interested, "Wh-ee," she ejaculated as she brushed her forehead, and lo, a mosquito fell to the floor. "Why-oo-ee. A little skeeto came in already." "Yes the little night lamp calls them, in her little, bright way, and they come, and sometimes they get hurt. Look at this pretty thing. See how dainty its wings, and how delicate and silken," and Aunt Janet tenderly lifted the tiny, dead insect. "Pretty little skeeto," said Janet.

Inside, he was buzzing around and bugging me..." "Like a skeeto?" "Yes, like a skeeto, only without the bites. So I took my model of a human skull and put it over him. It slowed him down, and now he's ... well, I guess he's my friend, if that makes sense."

2002, David S. J. Hodgson, Prima Temp Authors, Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Prima's Official Strategy Guide, illustrated edition, Prima Games, →ISBN:Skeeto. A thin and vicious creature with multiple membranous wings, a thin thorax, and a set of deadly teeth, the skeeto makes its home primarily in the swamps around the equator of Malastare, although it usually flies up into the canopies of trees to hunt for vermin up to the size of womp rats. Its jaws clamp onto its prey, after knocking it off its feet, and continue to hold on until the victim succumbs to blood loss. Large varieties of these creatures are said to have carried off smaller humanoid-sized beings, although eyewitness reports are hard to come by.
