MOSQUITOES STUDIES (Diptera, Culicidae) V. MOSQUITOES ORIGINALLY DESCRIBED FROM MIDDLE AMERICA’ BY John N. Belkin, Robert X. Schick and Sandra J. Heinemann2 INTRODUCTION For the project on the “Mosquitoes of Middle America” (Belkin, Schick et al 1965) an effort is being made to obtain adequate reared material with all the stages associated of all the nominal species of mosquitoes originally described from all the countries covered by the project. To facilitate collecting by co- operators, the present paper has been prepared listing the species and localities together with all the available data about the source of the original type material. The countries or islands are arranged in an alphabetical order and for each there is a List of Species followed by a List of Localities. The List of Species consists of all the nominal species, valid or currently considered as synonyms, arranged in the sequence followed in “A synoptic catalog of the mosquitoes of the world” (Stone, Knight and Starcke 1959; Stone 1961, 1963). For subspecies and junior synonyms, the species or senior synonyms in the taxonomic treatment of the catalog are shown in [brackets]. A nominal species marked with an asterisk (*) is the type species of a generic group taxon. Under TYPE, all the available data pertaining to the type material are given as derived from the original description and other published sources. Type specimens were not examined in the preparation of this paper and there- fore in many instances the kind of type specimen(s) (holotype or syntypes) could not be determined; possibly some lectotype selections were missed. The number in parentheses following the sex or stage of the type(s) indicates the collection or rearing number, In the statement of the type locality [brackets] are ’ This investigation was supported in part by Public Health Service Re- search Grant AI-04379, from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and in part by U.

2 Contr. Amer. Ent. Inst., vol. 1, no. 5, 1965 used to inclose corrections and (parentheses) for major political divisions, such as provinces or states. Dates of the type collection and collectors are given whenever they could be determined. At the end of the type data, enclosed in parentheses, is an indication of the type depository, abbreviated as in the catalog, together with references to lectotype selections or other published statements regarding the types. Under BIONOMICS, all the available data about the original collection are given directly, first for the immature stages and then for the adults. Data enclosed in [brackets] are supplied from other sources when none were given for the original collection. Such data should be used only as a general guide for locating the probable breeding sites. The List of Localities is arranged alphabetically by state, province or other major political subdivision and within each of these, alphabetically by the specific locality itself. The number preceding the nominal species refers to the number assigned to it in the list of species. The general plan is to obtain unequivocally associated immature stages and sexes of every nominal species in the list. This can be done in either of two ways, depending upon the stages encountered: (1) individual rearings of fieldcollected immature stages, primarily larvae but sometimes pupae or eggs, or (2) progeny rearings from field-collected females. For the collection, rearing and preservation, the methods outlined by Belkin, Hogue et al (1965) should be followed. An effort should be made to obtain for each nominal species at least 20 individual rearings or 9 progeny rearings and to preserve at least 20 whole larvae, 20 whole pupae, 20 males and 20 females, and to mass rear and preserve all the rest of the material that can be readily collected. Collections of immature stages should be made in the same type of breeding site as that specified for the original collection but other breeding sites should also be sampled. When the breeding site is not definitely known, the suggested probable larval habitats should be thoroughly sampled as well as similar habitats, e. g. all types of ground waters (lakes, ponds, swamps, streams, pools, etc.) for species using a specific type of ground water, and all type of containers (treeholes, leaf axils, flower bracts, etc. ) for container breeders. The list of breeding sites on the collection record form and the accompanying discussions in Belkin, Hogue et al (1965) provide a general guide _ to the various types of breeding sites and should be followed. Whenever possible, collections should be made in the exact type localities. In many instances, however, these may have been destroyed through urbani- zation, industrialization, road building, water empoundments and similar ac- tivities or may no longer be made to collect in a habitat possible to the original type and at the same elevation. accessible. In such instances, an effort should be similar to the original one at a site as close as locality, preferably in the same drainage system ANTIGUA List of Species 1.
