New Distribution Records for the Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States in 1943
Abstract
The continuation of the United States Army's mosquito survey program, now in its second season, continues to add materially to our knowledge of the abundance and distribution of the mosquito fauna of the seven states in the Southeastern United States which comprise the Fourth Service Command. A considerable number of new state records as well as new locality records have been added this year, and in addition one new species of has been collected in Florida and will be described at a later date. Since the state of Louisiana is no longer under the jurisdiction of this Command, the Fourth Service Command is now composed of the following states: Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Several Army installations scattered throughout the above mentioned states submit weekly collections of mosquito adults and to this laboratory for identification or confirmation. The fundamental purpose underlying these collections is to keep a constant check on the abundance of Anopheles quadrimaculatus at the various Army posts.
