ABSTRACT Collections of mosquitoes were conducted as part of the entomological vector surveillance in Quintana Roo State, Mexico, during September 2015. Species collected included Anopheles gabaldoni , An. darlingi , Psorophora columbiae , Culex inflictus , Cx. trifidus , Cx. lactator , and Wyeomyia guatemala s.l. All the specimens were identified by morphological and molecular characters (DNA-barcoding). This is the 1st time these species are reported in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. This research updates and increases the list of species of mosquitoes in Quintana Roo from 79 to 86.

ABSTRACT During August–November of 2018, mosquito collections were conducted with the intention of monitoring the presence of arboviruses in Durango State, Mexico. Species collected included Psorophora ( Janthinosoma ) ferox . In Mexico, 24 species of the genus Psorophora have been previously reported, whereas in the state of Durango, only 2 species have been reported: Psorophora ( Grabhamia ) columbiae and Ps . ( Gra .) signipennis . This is the 1st record of Ps. ferox and the subgenus Janthinosoma in Durango. With the addition of Ps. ferox to the list of mosquito species found in Durango, the number of mosquito species occurring in the state stands at 31.

ABSTRACT Collections of mosquitoes were conducted for the surveillance of species of medical importance in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, in June of 2017. Species collected included Psorophora ( Psorophora ) cilipes and Culex ( Melanoconion ) theobaldi , both new records for the state. Psorophora cilipes was previously recorded in Mexico State and Cx. theobaldi in Chiapas State. With the addition of these species, the mosquito fauna of Quintana Roo State now includes 81 species. Quintana Roo and Tamaulipas State with 82 species are the most mosquito-rich states in Mexico, based on currently available records. The specimens collected in this study were deposited in the Culicidae collection of the Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro Unidad Laguna.

ABSTRACT The invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus is currently distributed in most of the southern Mexican region. Since the species was first recorded in the state of Tamaulipas, in northeastern Mexico in 1988, it has expanded its distribution throughout the Sierra Madre Oriental and Gulf of Mexico to the Neotropical region of the country. Currently the species occurs in the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Veracruz, Chiapas, Morelos, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, San Luis Potosi, and Hidalgo. This is the first report of the mosquito in the states of Tabasco and Yucatan and the confirmation of its presence in Quintana Roo state. Aedes albopictus has been incriminated as a secondary vector of diseases such as those caused by dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, which have caused epidemic outbreaks in most tropical and subtropical regions of Mexico; therefore, surveillance for the detection of Ae. albopictus is paramount so that targeted control strategies can be implemented for its control throughout Mexico.
