“…notoscriptus could give rise to genetically isolated populations that might potentiate speciation. For example, Brug (1939) used morphological criteria to describe an Indonesian variety montanus that was elevated to subspecific rank by Stone et al . (1959).…”

Ochlerotatus notoscriptus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) is the predominant peridomestic mosquito in Australia where it is the primary vector of dog heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy), and a potentially important vector of arboviruses (Barmah Forest, Ross River) with geographical variation of vector competence. Although widespread, Oc. notoscriptus has low dispersal ability, so it may have isolated subpopulations. The identification of gene flow barriers may assist in understanding arbovirus epidemiology and disease risk, and for developing control strategies for this species. We investigated the population structure of Oc. notoscriptus from 17 sites around Australia, using up to 31 putative allozyme loci, 11 of which were polymorphic. We investigated the effect of larval environment and adult morphology on genetic variation. At least five subpopulations were found, four in New South Wales (NSW) and one unique to Darwin. Perth samples appear to be a product of recent colonization from the Australian east coast. For NSW sites, a Mantel test revealed an isolation by distance effect and spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed an area of effective gene flow of 67 km, which is high given the limited dispersal ability of this species. No consistent difference was observed between 'urban' and 'sylvan' habitats, which suggests frequent movement between these sites. However, a finer-scaled habitat study at Darwin revealed small but significant allele frequency differences, including for Gpi. No fixed allozyme differences were detected for sex, size, integument colour or the colour of species-diagnostic pale scales on the scutum. The domestic habit of Oc. notoscriptus and assisted dispersal have helped to homogenize this species geographically but population structure is still detectable on several levels associated with geographical variation of vector competence.

“…The Kalawara specimen is noticeably smaller than the others, with wing length 5.5 mm, but otherwise morphologically identical. Brug (1939) mentions the orange tuft on the sixth abdominal segment (VI-Te) or his Celebes females, here identified as aurunticaudu, and notes this tuft on a male he had seen from Formosa was black, as redescribed by Lien (1965) for typical uurifIuus from Taiwan (Formosa).…”

A list is given of all the species of mosquitos so far recorded from the Seychelles, with their distribution in so far as this is known. A number of new records are included based on collections made recently by one of us (E.S.B.).One species and one subspecies new to science are here described for the first time. The first full descriptions of the male terminalia and pupae of certain other species are included.Some notes are given regarding the taxonomy, bionomics and local distribution of the species concerned and the zoogeography of the groups to which they belong.Appendices are devoted to corrections to the second edition of “The Mosquitoes of the Ethiopian Eegion”, Vol. I by G. H. E. Hopkins, and to the mosquitos of other islands in the western Indian Ocean.

Notes on Dutch-East-Indian Mosquitos

Abstract: The material, upon which these observations were made is contained in the collection of the “Centraal Militair Geneeskundig Laboratorium” in Weltevreden (Java). To complete my observations many specimens in the collection of the British Museum were studied and compared.
