Abstract
Information regarding the distribution of Culicidae species in the northeastern region of Brazil is scarce. Immatures were collected from approximately four fragments of the Atlantic Forest. This study presents new occurrences of 18 Culicidae species in Pernambuco state: Anopheles kompi, Georgecraigius fluviatilis, Culex bidens, Culex chidesteri, Culex bastagarius, Culex imitator, Mansonia humeralis, Wyeomyia incaudata, Uranotaenia apicalis, Culex mollis, Culex usquatus, Culex dunni, Culex serratimarge, Culex ybarmis, Culex microphyllus, Sabethes purpureus, Wyeomyia pilicauda, and Wyeomyia airosai. The last nine species were also new records for the northeast region. With the inclusion of these newly recorded species, the total number of mosquitoes documented in Pernambuco state now rises to 94.
