Objective To investigate the fauna of mosquitoes in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Methods From August to September, 2017, investigation and sampling were performed for mosquito larvae in various types of breeding sites in southeastern Tibet. Results The genus of Heizmannia and three mosquito species of Hz. heterospina, Hz. reidi, and Hz. macdonaldi were found and captured for the first time in Tibet. They were the new records of the genera and species of local mosquitoes. This article described and reported the main morphological characteristics, distribution areas, breeding environment, and the structure diagram of male terminalia of the genus and species. Conclusion Heizmannia belongs to the Oriental fauna. The distribution of this genus and related species was found for the first time in southeastern Tibet, suggesting that the mosquitoes in southeastern Tibet with a low altitude belong to the Oriental fauna. In addition, the discovery of this genus and related species shows high diversity of mosquitoes in southeastern Tibet.
