Mosquities Species Diversity Of The Districts (Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh And Kpk) Pakistan

Abstract

This study is essential for the identification of mosquito fauna in Pakistan studied here. This species diversity is reported from some of the districts of Pakistan (Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh, and KPK). The long and short diameter of the eye, abdomen, length, and width of the head, and thorax size and shape in millimeters were measured to develop for species differentiation and identification. According to the literature, the mosquito fauna of Pakistan includes about 42 different species of mosquitoes found in Pakistan. A further 26 species are Oriental, Palearctic, Holarctic, and Ethiopian Cosmo tropophysical. The species described from localities now within Pakistan and from our collections are recorded in the present work. It lists 10genera and 91 species from West Pakistan and 13 genera and 89 species from East Pakistan. The common genera of mosquitoes newly described are Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex. Mosquitoes are members mosquito family and consist of 3 subgroups: (1) Anophelinae, (2) Culicinae, and (3) Toxorhynchitinae. Anopheles is the most important genus of Anophelinae, and mosquito genera  key genera of Culicinae.
