Taxonomic Study of Korean Mosquitos.

Abstract

The annual report covers all information on taxonomic survey of Korean mosquitos conducted throughout South Korea during the past one year from July 1973 to June 1974. The first concern of this project is to determine the Korean mosquito fauna, extend a key to the Korean mosquito species and prepare whole specimens, species by species, for a permanent deposit. The next concern is to provide the U.S. Army Medical Laboratory Pacific with some rare species needed for their enlarged editions of the Mosquito Fauna of Japan and Korea. The larval collections were mainly performed to obtain good specimens perfectly with larval and pupal skins by using individual rearing in the in the laboratory. For adults, human and animal bait resting place and light trap collections were made from time to time for some information on a rare species. However, the materials caught by the methods mentioned above were not usually available for permanent mounting.
