The austral-most record of the genus Haemagogus Williston (Diptera: Culicidae).

INTRODUCTION

The genus Haemagogus Williston is restricted to Central America and North and middle of South America and it includes numerous species of yellow fever virus vectors.

METHODS

Adult female and larvae mosquitoes were collected using hand aspirators and dipper and pipette, respectively.

RESULTS

The first record of a species of Haemagogus and particularly of Haemagogus spegazzinii was from La Pampa, Argentina. With this registry, the number of species found in La Pampa province rises to 18.

CONCLUSIONS

New information on breeding sites for the species and implications of this new record suggest a possible extension of distribution in the near future.
