Abstract
ABSTRACT An illustrated key is provided for the identification of third and fourth instar larvae of the nine mosquito species known to occur in the Tongatapu island group, Kingdom of Tonga. This includes five Aedes species: Ae. aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1895), Ae. horrescens Edwards, 1935, Ae. tongae Edwards, 1926, and Ae. vexans nocturnus (Theobald, 1903) and four Culex species: Cx. quinquefasciatus Say, 1823, Cx. annulirostris Skuse, 1889, Cx. albinervis Edwards, 1929, and Cx. sitiens Wiedemann, 1828. The key includes illustrations of diagnostic features of both the third and fourth instar larvae (siphon, tufts, saddle, comb scales and anal gills). This will help workers correctly identify mosquito larvae in the Tongatapu island group, of which several species (Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. annulirostris) are medically important vectors of disease.
期刊介绍：
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
