“…In the locality of Sacxan, six species of Culicidae had already been reported (Ortega‐Morales et al, ), and 17 more species are reported in this study (Table ), recording a total of 23 species in this locality. Of the six species previously reported, the presence of five of them is confirmed ( An.…”

“…There are 3,554 species of mosquitoes recognized worldwide (Harbach, 2018), of these only 1,254 have been barcoded that is <40% (www.Boldsystems.org) (Ratnasingham & Hebert, 2007). In Mexico, around 250 species belonging to 20 genera are reported (Bond et al, 2014;Ibáñez-Bernal, Strickman, & Martínez-Campos, 1996;Ortega-Morales et al, 2015). Among the important genera reported for Quintana Roo is the genus Aedes sensu Wilkerson et al (2015) potential vector of pathogens causing diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, zika, among other diseases that represent a threat to human and animal health (Ortega Morales et al, 2010;Salomón-Grajales et al, 2012).…”

Culicidae mosquitoes are potential vectors of pathogens that affect human health. The correct species identification, as well as the discovery and description of cryptic species, is important in public health for the control and management of specific vectors. In the present study, the diversity of anthropophagous mosquitoes in Quintana Roo, at the border between Mexico and Belize, was evaluated using morphological and molecular data (COI‐DNA Barcoding). A total of 1,413 adult female specimens were collected, belonging to eight genera and 31 morphospecies. Most species formed well‐supported clades. Intraspecific Kimura 2 parameters (K2P) distance average was 0.75%, and a maximum distance of 4.40% was observed for Anopheles crucians s.l. ABGD method identified 28 entities, while 32 entities were identified with the BIN system. In Culex interrogator and Culex nigripalpus a low interspecific genetic distance of 0.1% was observed. One undescribed species belonging to the genus Aedes ( Aedes n. sp.) was discovered, but no clear genetic divergence was found between this species and the closely related species Aedes angustivittatus . An intraspecific K2P distance greater than 2.7% was observed in Aedes serratus (3.9%), Anopheles crucians s.l. (4.4%), Culex taeniopus (3.7%), Haemagogus equinus (3.9%), Culex erraticus (5.0%), Psorophora ferox (4.5%), and in Anopheles apicimacula (8.10%); therefore, evidences of cryptic diversity are shown in these species. This study showed that DNA barcodes offer a reliable framework for mosquito species identification in Quintana Roo, except for some closely related species for which it is recommended to use additional nuclear genetic markers such as ITS2, in order to resolve these small discrepancies.

First Record of Culex (Microculex) daumastocampa (Diptera: Culicidae) in Mexico, with Notes on Cx. rejector and Cx. imitator

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Culex (Microculex) daumastocampa Dyar & Knab was originally described by Dyar and Knab (Proc US Nat Mus 35:53-70, 1908) from larvae collected at axils of bromeliads in Port San Felipe, Panama. Culex daumastocampa is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Suriname, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Mexico, although its presence had not been reported suggesting its northernmost distribution. In Mexico, the subgenus Microculex had included Cx. rejector Dyar and Knab, and Cx. imitator Theobald. However, after that collection specimens were re-examined along with other specimens collected during 2016 in Chiapas (all specimens are available in the Culicidae Collection of the Universidad Autonoma Agraria Antonio Narro Unidad Laguna [UAAAN-UL], Mexico). Culex daumastocampa is now reported for the first time in Mexico, Cx. rejector for Chiapas, and Cx. imitator removed from the checklist of previous reports as to be present in Mexico.
