“…Toxorhynchites (Lynchiella) theobaldi (Dyar and Knab) was reported by Vargas (1956) and Zapata-Peniche et al (2007). However, Zavortink & Chaverri (2009) examined the status of Toxorhynchites species by their distinctive tarsal markings from several collections and suggested that Tx. moctezuma (Dyar & Knab) and Tx.…”

“…Since the identity of the species of Toxorhynchites in northern Mexico is still uncertain, the species recorded here as Tx . moctezuma is based on studies by Zavortink and Chaverri [12]. Toxorhynchites moctezuma is thus a new state record for Nuevo León.…”

To document the diversity and distribution of mosquitoes inhabiting the Mexican state of Nuevo León, collection trips were conducted to all physiographic regions (Grand Northamerican Plains, Coastal Plain of North Gulf, and Sierra Madre Oriental) and subregions across the state. A total of 3,176 specimens were collected. Additionally, we re-examined mosquito specimens in two Mexican entomological collections: The Collection of Insects and Mites of Medical Importance and the Collection of Arthropods of Medical Importance. These represent the two culicid subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae, 8 tribes, 12 genera, 25 subgenera, and 64 named species. Of these, 1 tribe, 2 genera, 5 subgenera, and 14 species are new records for the mosquito fauna of Nuevo León. Three undescribed species were collected. Two are described in this study: Aedes ( Ochlerotatus ) amateuri Ortega & Zavortink n. sp., and Aedes ( Protomacleaya ) lewnielseni Ortega & Zavortink n. sp. The third belongs to the genus Wyeomyia . Twelve species previously recorded from Nuevo León were not collected during this study. Taxonomic notes, new distribution limits, and comments about the medical importance of some species are reported.

“…Toxorhynchites moctezuma (Dyar and Knab) -This species has a wider distribution, extending from the south of the USA, to Central America (Zavortink and Chaverri, 2009). In Mexico, it has been recorded in the states of Campeche, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, Tamaulipas and Veracruz (Heineman and Belkin, 1977;Mis Ávila et al, 2013;Ortega-Morales et al, 2015, 2019.…”

Introduction: Many mosquitoes are of great medical and veterinary importance because they transmit numerous pathogens which cause diseases in animals and humans; thus, knowing their taxonomy and distribution is pivotal for implementing the correct control strategies. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of mosquito species and their distribution in La Comarca Lagunera in the state of Durango, Mexico.Method: Adult mosquitoes were collected at different resting sites in four municipalities between August and November 2018 using Insectzookas. Aquatic habitats were also sampled for immature stages. Adult specimens were killed using lethal chambers with triethylamine vapors; while larvae and pupae were stored in individual tubes to obtain the adult stages and associated exuviae. All material was transported to the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the Parasitology Department of the Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro, Unidad Laguna (UAAAN-UL) for mounting and taxonomical identification. Species were identified using taxonomic keys for the region.Results: In total, 689 mosquito specimens (286 males and 403 females) were collected belonging to 15 species, among them Anopheles franciscanus McCracken, Culex erythrothorax Dyar, and Toxorhynchites moctezuma (Dyar and Knab) are new records for Durango State. The most abundant species was Cx. quinquefasciatus Say with 364 (56.2%) specimens, followed by Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (21.3%) and Ae. vexans (Meigen) (7.7%).Conclusion: 13 out of 15 species collected are associated with the transmission of an arbovirus of relevant medical or veterinary importance in Mexico. There are now 38 species recorded for Durango. The information in this study is directly relevant for the Health Ministry in Durango State for the control of vector borne diseases in the region.
