A Checklist of the Mosquitoes of Indonesia.

Abstract

Indonesia is represented by a varied mosquito fauna, embracing some 3450 know species of 2960 listed worldwide in Knight and Stone (1977). This is primarily a result of the widespread distribution of the country's many islands, which range from the southeastern Oriental Region across the Wallace and Weber lines to the northwestern Australian Region. This fauna has been, both during the colonial and post-colonial periods, the subject of many investigations in the fields of taxonomy, distribution, bionomics and disease relationships. While a few earlier checklists exist, none have been prepared specifically for Indonesia which take into account the extensive studies of the last 30 years. This paper is intended to fill that gap. The primary literature sources for these data were the Knight and Stone (1977) worldwide catalog and the supplement of Knight (1978). The arrangement of the various taxa follows their format.
