Adults were captured using traps (CDC and Malaise) and nets (sweeping). Larvae and pupae were collected from puddles of water (on the ground and on rocks) and from leaf axils of arboreal and distributional records for the region. The species found belong to the genera Ochlerotatus, Anoph

Culicidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) from the central Brazilian Amazon: Nhamundá and Abacaxis Rivers

“…Other mosquito surveys from upland terra firme sites have similar results: of the 145 species collected, north of Manaus, 16% (23 species) were new records for the State of Amazonas (HUTCHINGS et al 2011); of the 119 species collected in the Jau National Park, 25% (30 species) were new records (HUTCHINGS et al 2005); and of the 44 species recorded in Querari, 27% (12 species) were also new records for the state (HUTCHINGS et al 2002). We found no previously published mosquito distributional records for the municipalities of Nhamundá and Nova Olinda do Norte.…”

“…Most of these new records of distribution are found in publications resulting from inventories (BARBOSA et al 2008, HUTCHINGS et al 2002, 2005, 2010, 2011, SUÁREZ-MUTIS et al 2009) and as a result of the description of new species (FORATTINI & SALLUM 1992, SALLUM & HUTCHINGS 2003, SALLUM et al 1997.…”

Culicidae (Diptera, Culicomorpha) from the western Brazilian Amazon: Juami-Japurá Ecological Station

“…In other inventories, we also observed that of the 119 species reported by Hutchings et al (2005) for the Jaú National Park, in the municipality of Novo Airão, 30 species (25%) were new records for Amazonas State. Likewise, of the 44 species reported by Hutchings et al (2002) for the locality of Querari, in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, 12 species (27%) were new records for Amazonas State.…”

Mites (Acari: Trombidiformes) parasitizing mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in an Atlantic Forest area in southern Brazil with a new mite genus country record

“…The same is true for the other collected species of Culex, belonging to the subgenera Melanoconion. Aedes hortator can develop in stone holes and also in temporary puddles in the soil (Forattini 1965(Forattini , 2002Hutchings et al 2002). Immature stages of Uranotaenia species develop in swamps among aquatic vegetation (Galindo et al 1954).…”
