Diptera: Culicidae) NOVEMBER1992 177 THIRD SUPPLEMENT TO “A CATALOG OF THE MOSQUITOES OF THE WORLD” (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) RONALD A. WARD’-~ Department of Entomology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington,DC 20307-5100 ABSTRACT. Additions and changesin the taxonomic statusof mosquitoesfrom January 1984 through January 1992 are enumerated with the pertinent literature citations. Through this eight-year period, there were describednine new subgenera,128 new speciesand one new subspecies.One subgenus,25 speciesand 16 subspeciesor varieties were removed from synonymy. The statusof 66 taxa, including synonyms, were changed by transfersin generic or subgenericstatus. Since 1984 there has been a net changeof 145 speciesadded to the world mosquito fauna, resulting in a total of 3,209 valid species. INTRODUCTION while synonymsare underlined and in roman type.

The genus Pythium in mainland China HO Hon-Hing* Department of Biology, State University of New York, New Paltz, New York 12561, USA Abstract: A historical review of studies on the genus Pythium in mainland China was conducted, covering the occurrence, distribution, taxonomy, pathogenicity, plant disease control and its utilization. To date, 64 species of Pythium have been reported and 13 were described as new to the world: P. acrogynum, P. amasculinum, P. b ai sen se , P. boreale, P. breve, P. connatum, P. falciforme, P. guiyangense, P. guangxiense, P. hypoandrum, P. kummingense, P. nanningense and P. sinensis. The dominant species is P. aphanidermatum causing serious damping off and rotting of roots, stems, leaves and fruits of a wide variety of plants throughout the country. Most of the Pythium species are pathogenic with 44 species parasitic on plants, one on the red alga, Porphyra: P. porphyrae, two on mosquito larvae: P. carolinianum and P. guiyangense and two mycoparasitic: P. nunn and P. oligandrum. In comparison, 48 and 28 species have been reported, respectively, from Taiwan and Hainan Island with one new species described in Taiwan: P. sukuiense. The prospect of future study on the genus Pythium in mainland China was discussed.

Only, 10% of the mosquito species recorded are efficient vectors of pathogens with considerable public health significance (Manguin and Boete 2011), that have been historically responsible for some of the worst epidemics mankind has witnessed. The principal vectors of diseases belong to three genera viz. Anopheles, Aedes and Culex, of which some mosquito species are highly and successful invasive in nature e.g.

  • Identifying the Main Mosquito Species in China Based on DNA Barcoding
    Identifying the Main Mosquito Species in China Based on DNA Barcoding Gang Wang1, Chunxiao Li1, Xiaoxia Guo1, Dan Xing1, Yande Dong1, Zhongming Wang1, Yingmei Zhang1, Meide Liu1, Zhong Zheng1,2, Hengduan Zhang1, Xiaojuan Zhu1, Zhiming Wu1, Tongyan Zhao1* 1 Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Academy of Military Medical Science, Beijing, China, 2 Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Military Area Command, Xinjiang, China Abstract Mosquitoes are insects of the Diptera, Nematocera, and Culicidae families, some species of which are important disease vectors. Identifying mosquito species based on morphological characteristics is difficult, particularly the identification of specimens collected in the field as part of disease surveillance programs. Because of this difficulty, we constructed DNA barcodes of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, the COI gene, for the more common mosquito species in China, including the major disease vectors. A total of 404 mosquito specimens were collected and assigned to 15 genera and 122 species and subspecies on the basis of morphological characteristics. Individuals of the same species grouped closely together in a Neighborhood-Joining tree based on COI sequence similarity, regardless of collection site. COI gene sequence divergence was approximately 30 times higher for species in the same genus than for members of the same species. Divergence in over 98% of congeneric species ranged from 2.3% to 21.8%, whereas divergence in conspecific individuals ranged from 0% to 1.67%. Cryptic species may be common and a few pseudogenes were detected. Citation: Wang G, Li C, Guo X, Xing D, Dong Y, et al. (2012) Identifying the Main Mosquito Species in China Based on DNA Barcoding.

Oil palm is one of the most rapidly expanding crops in Southeast Asia, but the impact of this crop on mosquito distribution, behaviour and exposure potential has been poorly explored. Understanding these factors is essential for developing, optimising and evaluating novel control measures aimed at reducing disease-transmission.

It is important to know the distribution, ecology, and biology of mosquitoes that depend on the genus and species. High mosquito populations are associated with the availability of mosquito breeding sites. Not all breeding sites are clearly visible to humans. Some species prefer temporary water bodies, while others prefer more permanent ones. Potential habitat is a major factor of the diversity and abundance of vector mosquito populations in Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Aims: The study aimed to determine mosquitos’ abundance and describe mosquitoes breeding sites. Methods: Tools used for collecting mosquitos’ larvae were mosquito dipper, aquatic nets, and larvae pipette. The survey was performed in two filariasis-endemic villages, which were Bonelalo and Mabulugo with explorative descriptive methods. Results: Based on the results, there are nine types of mosquito breeding sites in two villages, namely ditches, wellsprings, river banks, rice fields, puddles, coconut shells, irrigation channels, mangroves, and estuary.

  • Diptera : Culicidae) of Southern Coastal Districts of Orissa
    Rec. zool. Surv. India, 109(Part-2) : 87-98, 2009 A PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE MOSQUITO FAUNA (DIPTERA : CULICIDAE) OF SOUTHERN COASTAL DISTRICTS OF ORISSA s. DAsH AND R.K. HAZRA* Estuarine Biological Station, Zoological Survey of India, Gopalpur on Sea, Orissa-761 002, India INTRODUCTION The family Culicidae consists of 41 genera and 3500 species known all over the world. Of these, 320 species of 37 genera of mosquitoes are reported from India. Barraud (1934) studied the Indian mosquito fauna and recorded 250 species of Culicinae with type localities in greater India. The mosquito fauna of coastal Orissa was first studied by Fry (1912) and reported the presence of 5 anopheline species. After a gap of over three decades Rodenwaldt recorded 21 sps. of Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera : Culicidae) from the coastal belt of Orissa. Subsequently Nagpal and Sharma (1983) recorded 32 species of mosquitoes belonging to six genera from coastal districts of Orissa. Later Dash et al. (2000) reported 8 sps. of Culicinae and 14 spp of Anopheline mosquitoes from Chilika Lake area; Rajavel et al. (2005a, b) reported 74 species belonging to 12 genera and 20 subgenera from Jeypore hill tracks of Orissa and fortythree species of mosquitoes belonging to 21 subgenera and 13 genera, from mangrooves of Bhiterkanika. The need for the identification of the mosquitoes is urgently required because some of the mosquito species are the vectors of important tropical diseases including malaria, dengu, filariasis, etc. Although the organizations such as National Centre for Malaria Research (NIMR), Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC, Bhubaneswar), Vector Control Research Centre (VCRC) and National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) are doing a handful work on mosquito biology, but the taxonomy of Indian mosquito is far from complete.

  • Diversity of Mosquito Larvae Breeding Sites in Several Sampling
    Advances in Biological Sciences Research, volume 8 International Conference and the 10th Congress of the Entomological Society of Indonesia (ICCESI 2019) Diversity of Mosquito Larvae Breeding Sites in Several Sampling Locations in Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia R A Wigati1*, Malonda Maksud2 1Institute of Vector and Reservoir Control Research and Development, Salatiga, Central Java 50721, Indonesia 2National Institute of Health Research and Development Unit Donggala, Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Mosquitoes live in accordance to physical and biological environment. The aim of this study was to find out the diversity of mosquito larvae. The study was conducted on September 29 to October 31, 2014. Data was collected in six types of sampling locations, which are forest sampling location near settlements, forest sampling location located remotely from settlements, non-forest sampling location near settlements, non- forest sampling location located remotely from settlements, coastal area sampling location near settlements, and coastal sampling location located remotely from settlements. Mosquito larvae breeding sites in forest sampling location located remotely from settlements were river, rock holes, taro leaf axil, and coconut shells. In this breeding site, there were Anopheles, Uranotaenia, and Aedes larvae found. Breeding sites in non-forest sampling location near settlements were river, bamboo, taro leaf axil, and larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Malaya, and Uranotaenia. Breeding sites in non-forest sampling location located remotely from settlements were river, banana leaf axil and coconut shells, and the mosquito larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Armigeres, and Aedes. In coastal sampling location located near settlements, breeding sites were puddles, ponds, banana and taro leaf axil, river, mangrove, and ponds, and the mosquito larvae found were four, namely; Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, and Aedes.
