Illustrated Taxonomic Keys to Genera and Species of Female Mosquitoes of Korea. Part 1

Abstract

Lee and Lien's (1970) ''Pictorial Keys to the Mosquitoes of Korea" has been utilized for 15 years as the most comprehensive taxonomic manual for identification of the non-Anopheline mosquitoes of Korea. During this period many species have been recorded as new to Korea. However, much of this new taxonomic information has been distributed in a number of scientific publications. This work attempts to combine this information into a single document, as well as synthesize revised taxonomic synonyms of species occurring in Korea. Based on the available publications, the total number of mosquitoes recorded in Korea is now 51 species representing 9 genera. At present, the 5th Preventive Medicine Unit, U.S. Army is continuing its mosquito surveillance program on the taxonomy, biology and distribution of the mosquito fauna.
