Abstract
A comprehensive and updated checklist for the mosquitoes of Thailand has been compiled from scattered literature in addition to our own collections during 1983-1984 mosquito surveys in this country. In total 384 taxa of mosquitoes can be counted with valid distribution records : Anopheles 65 spp., Aedes 100 spp., Armigeres 22 spp., Heizmannia 16 spp., Culex 80 spp., Topomyia 14 spp., Tripteroides 13 spp., Uranotaenia 39 spp., Toxorhynchites 8 spp., and other genera 27 spp. Among them 249 spp. (64.8%) are common with Malaysian mosquito fauna, 113 spp. (29.4%) with Philippine fauna, and 44 spp. (11.5%) with Japanese fauna. Only 54 spp. (14.1%) are not known outside Thailand. References for collection or distribution and larval breeding places have been given to each taxon.
