Notes on the Occurrence of Abnormal Thoracic and Abdominal Banding in Culex territans Larvae (Diptera: Culicidae).

Pale-banded variants of Culex territans Walker larvae were found in southern New Jersey in 2016 and in subsequent years. The larvae lacked pigmentation on the prothoracic and mesothoracic segments as well as on abdominal segment (IV). The amount of pigmentation varied between populations.

Comparative Efficacy of , , and and Influence of Prey Density for Biological Control of Larvae.

Larval survival times and density-dependent feeding behavior were evaluated with the use of 2 species of fish native to the northeastern USA ( and ) and the potentially invasive . Each species was provided 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 4th-stage larvae of /fish in the laboratory and digital images were recorded to quantify the number of surviving larvae at various intervals. Daily feeding rates were greatest at the highest larval density.

Species Composition and Seasonal Distribution of Mosquito Larvae (Diptera: Culicidae) in Southern New Jersey, Burlington County.

A total of 36,495 larvae consisting of 45 species from 11 genera were collected from 7,189 sites from southern New Jersey, Burlington County between the months of March and October, 2001-2014. Density and seasonal distribution were determined among natural and artificial habitat. The most dominant species collected from natural habitat was Aedes vexans (Meigen) followed by Ochlerotatus canadensis canadensis (Theobald), Culex restuans Theobald, Culex pipiens L.

Morphological variants of Aedes aegypti collected from the Leeward Island of Antigua.

Nineteen Aedes aegypti larvae were collected in rural Antigua, West Indies, from an 18-liter plastic bucket. The location was in a rural area at the northern end of Antigua bordering the coast of Dickenson Bay and approximately 50 m south of Halcyon Cove Beach (17 degrees 09'42.54"N, 61 degrees 50'44.

Checklist of the mosquitoes of the Bahamas with three additions to its fauna and keys to the adult females and fourth instars.

This up-to-date checklist of the mosquitoes of the Bahamas includes 8 genera and 34 species. Three species new to the Bahamas are Culex chidesteri, Culex bisulcatus, and Psorophora insularia. The status of Culex antillummagnorum in the Bahamas is discussed.
