Contributions to the Mosquito Fauna of Southeast Asia. XVI. Genus Aedes Meigen, Subgenus Aedimorphus Theobald in Southeast Asia (Contributions of the American Entomological Institute. Volume 9, Number 5)
Abstract
This paper is a comprehensive revision of the Aedes (Aedimorphus) in Southeast Asia and deals with 14 species and 1 subspecies. These species are completely described and compared with closely related forms occurring in the Pacific Islands and Oriental Zoogeographical Regions. Pupae of caecus, culicinus, mediolineatus, orbitae, pampangensis and pipersalatus, larvae of culicinus and orbitae and the egg of mediolineatus are described for the first time. Stages and genitalia of the following species are also illustrated for the first time: alboscutellatus male; caecus female genitalia, male and pupa; culicinus female, female genitalia, male, pupa and larva; lowisii female genitalia; mediolineatus female genitalia, male, pupa and egg; nigostriatus female, female genitalia and male; orbitae female, female genitalia, male, male genitalia, pupa and larva; pallidostriatus female and female genitalia; pampangensis female genitalia and pupa; pipersalatus female genitalia, male and pupa; punctifemoris female, female genitalia and male; stenoetrus female genitalia and male; and taeniorhynchoides female genitalia and male. Keys to the adults (including stenoetrus and taeniorhynchoides), pupae and larvae of Southeast Asian species are given. New synonyms in this paper are: lowisii (= mindoroensis); pampangensis (= niveoscutellum); and vexans (= nocturnus) . Lectotypes for lowisii, nigrostriatus, orbitae and pallidostriatus and a neotype for pampangensis are designated. Aedes stenoetrus and taeniorhynchoides are excluded from the fauna of Southeast Asia.
