“…It has a range that extends from southern Mexico to the south of Brazil (Forattini 1962). This broad range implies a priori that variations in its biology are likely to exist (Giglioli 1956, Rachou 1958, Zimmerman 1992. This paper summarises some of the information concerning An.…”

“…darlingi, A. rangeli and A. oswaldoi, have been implicated in the transmission of malaria in the Amazon Basin (Arruda et al, 1986;Deane, 1986;Zimmerman, 1992;Branquinho et al, 1993). A. albitarsis is a species complex (Wilkerson et al, 1995) and only one other member of this complex, A. deaneorum, can be separated by morphological characteristics (Rosa-Freitas, 1989).…”

-From January 19 to February 25, 1997 an entomological survey of the seringais and larger towns along the Acre and Purus rivers was made as part of the project "Revisitando a Amazônia de Carlos Chagas; da Borracha a Biodiversidad". Eleven anopheline species and 1285 specimens were collected landing on human baits. The four most abundant species were Anopheles albitarsis s.l. (n=778), A. darlingi (n=359), A. rangeli (n=69) and A. oswaldoi (n=60). A total of 252 larvae were collected of which 10 anopheline species were identified. The most abundant low numbers of Anopheles collected and the absence of the principal malaria vector A. darlingi at the seringais sites suggests that they arc not high risk malarious areas. Other Diptera collected were Culex sp., Mansonia titillans, Mansonia pseudotitillans, Psorophora ciliata, Psorophora sp., Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) sp., Simulium amazonicum and S. sanguineum.

“…Anopheles darlingi es uno de los principales vectores de la malaria en el Perú y en las Américas, principalmente por su alta domesticidad y antropofilia (6,11,(14)(15)(16) . En el Perú es notificado por primera vez en 1931 en una localidad del departamento de Loreto en la frontera con Brasil (17) .…”

RESUMENAnopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi ha sido reportado desde 1931 en áreas fronterizas del departamento de Loreto, principalmente a lo largo de las fronteras con Brasil y Colombia. En 1994, durante un brote de malaria, An. darlingi fue encontrado en localidades vecinas a Iquitos. En la actualidad, su distribución se ha expandido considerablemente en Loreto. Para los objetivos de este trabajo se realizó una revisión de las referencias bibliográficas disponibles para obtener toda la información posible sobre la distribución de los mosquitos, en particular de los anofelinos en la región Amazónica del país, con énfasis especial en An. darlingi. También se realizaron colectas entomológicas en los departamentos de Madre de Dios y Ucayali con la finalidad de conocer y verificar la distribución de An. darlingi. En la actualidad, la distribución de la especie está circunscrita a localidades al sureste del Perú en localidades fronterizas con Bolivia, en una localidad del río Abujao del departamento de Ucayali, y ampliamente en la región noreste de la cuenca amazónica del departamento de Loreto.Palabras clave: Dípteros; Culicidae; Malaria; Perú (fuente: DeCS BIREME). HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF Anopheles (NYSSORHYNCHUS) darlingi (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON ABSTRACTAnopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi has been reported since 1931 in border areas of the department of Loreto, mainly along the borders with Brazil and Colombia. In 1994, during an outbreak of malaria, An. darlingi was found in neighboring towns to Iquitos. At present, its distribution has expanded considerably in Loreto. This paper reviews literature available for all possible information on the distribution of mosquitoes, particularly anopheline in the Amazon region of the country, with special emphasis on An darlingi. Entomological collections were also conducted in the departments of Madre de Dios and Ucayali in order to know and verify the distribution of An. darlingi. At present, the distribution of the species is confined to localities in southeastern Peru with Bolivia border towns, in a town near the Abujao River in the department of Ucayali, and widely in the northeastern region of the Amazon basin of Loreto in Peru.
