Abstract
A brief survey of mosquito fauna and observations of natural plasmodial infections in mosquitoes were made in Belu Regency of Indonesian Timor during late September through early October 1973. Natural infections of oocysts and sporozoites were detected in 6 of 94 Anopheles subpictus, and in 1 of 15 Anopheles barbirostris dissected. A list of 30 species of mosquitoes heretofore recorded from Indonesian and Portuguese Timor is presented. Fourteen of 25 species collected were not previously recorded, but 19 of 30 recorded species were not collected in the present investigation. A total of 44 species is presently known to exist in Indonesian and Portuguese Timor. The mosquito fauna consists mainly of Oriental species with only 6 species considered to be Australasian. The morphological characters of 3 unnamed taxa are briefly described.
