Abstract
We investigated the larval dipteran fauna of artificial and natural containers, sewage treatment plants, and storm drains in the Florida Keys. Mosquitoes collected were Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Anopheles crucians, Culex atratus, Cx. nigripalpus, Cx. peccator, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Deinocerites cancer, Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus, and Wyeomyia vanduzeei, as well as an unidentified Culex (Melanoconion) species and an unidentified Anopheles species. Other Diptera collected included a chironomid species in the Chironomus decorus Johannsen group; the filter fly, Clogmia albipunctata; an undescribed psychodid in the genus Austropericoma; a ceratopogonid midge, Dasyhelea pseudoincisurata; and a phorid fly, Megaselia scalaris.View this article in BioOne
