Abstract

Objective To investigate and understand the fauna of mosquitoes in Tibet autonomous region. Methods Mosquito larvae of various breeding grounds in southeastern Tibet were investigated and sampled. Results Five species of the genus Armigeres were captured. They were Ar. subalbatus, Ar. seticoxitus, Ar. beisasi, Ar. flavus, and Ar. inchoatus. Among them, the latter four species were first found in Tibet. The main morphological characteristics, distribution area, breeding environment of the four newly recorded species and the morphology of the male terminalia based on the authentic specimens were described and reported. Conclusion Due to the relatively low altitude, abundant rainfall and complex climate and environment in southeastern Tibet, the species of the genus Armigeres are relatively rich. With the deepening of the fauna investigation, the species will undoubtedly increase further.

Key words： New record; Genus Armigeres; Xizang (Tibet) Autonomy
