Abstract:
For the first time, the reference collection of mosquitoes in Korea was carried through out the country, under the project of WHO-JEVRU, in 1969. After that, in 1970 and 1971, biological survey for Culex tritaeniorhynchus and taxonomic survey of the Culex vishnni group of mosquito were performed in very limited areas, Shintaein, Cholla Puk-do and Sasang, Pusan city. During these periods, 35 species of 8 genera out of 45 species of 9 genera recorded by former workers were confirmed. In addition to these, 3 unreported species representing 2 genera, namely Aedes kobayashii, Aedes gallosi and Mansomia ochracea, werer found. In the present paper, authors intend to give short descriptions accompanied by illustrations of the more important parts of the adults and the larvae.
