Abstract

Objective To investigate the fauna of mosquitoes in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Methods From August to September, 2017, investigation and sampling, specimen preparation, and taxonomic identification were performed for mosquito larvae in various types of breeding sites in southeast Tibet. Results A batch of Topomyia specimens were collected in Motuo county and were identified as the following three species:Topomyia (Sua.) houghtoni Feng, 1941, Topomyia (Top.) zhengi Gong, 1991, and Topomyia (Top.) hirtusa Gong, 1989. Topomyia (Top.) hirtusa was discovered for the first time in Tibet and was a new record of local mosquito species. This article reports and briefly describes the main morphological characteristics, distribution areas, breeding environment, and structure of male terminalia of the three mosquito species. Conclusion Up to now, three species belonging to two subgenera of Topomyia are known in Tibet.
