The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Pacific Ocean (without Great Barrier Reef)” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

  • A Review of the Mosquito Fauna of the Solomon Islands (Diptera: Culicidae)1
    Pacific Insects Vol. 19, no. 3-4: 165-248 30 Decemder 1978 A REVIEW OF THE MOSQUITO FAUNA OF THE SOLOMON ISLANDS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)1 By Brian Taylor2 and Mario Maffi3 Abstract: This review brings up to date the knowledge of the mosquitoes of the Solomon Islands. Almost 200 new distribution records are detailed for 80 of the 99 species and partially described forms now known from the islands. A systematic treatment covers all the species and a geographical treatment gives the species found and notes on all known collections for each island or island group. Summaries are given of the adult and juvenile bionomics, including a classification of breeding sites anci new records of Coelomomyces fungus infections in larvae. The islands considered in this review form a part, the major part, of the Solomon Islands (FIG I-J. The Santa Gruz Islands, or Eastern Outer Islands, although politically part of the Solomons, are not considered because they are regarded as belonging to a separate faunal area (Belkin 1962) and have been dealt with in detail by Maffi & Taylor (1974). Conversely, the island of Bougainville, which is part ofthe Solomons faunal area, is not part of the political area ofthe Solomon Islands and it also is not considered in detail in this review. The Solomon Islands comprise a scattered archipelago of mountainous islands of con­ tinental character formed by tectonic folding, and with numerous extinct and dormant volcanic cones and low-lying coral atolls. The major islands form a double chain stretch­ ing southeasterly for 850 km from the Shortland Islands to Ulawa and Santa Ana> lying between 5°S to 11°55'S and 155°30'E to 162°55'E.
