There has been a growing interest in the establishment and spread of invasive aedine mosquito species but also in understanding native mosquitoes. Following concerns regarding black and white-striped mosquitoes biting aggressively during the day, survey visits were organised by the Joint Services Health Unit on the Kryos river at the village of St. Mavra, Limassol district, Cyprus. Adult mosquitoes collected either during human landing catches in June 2015 or adults that emerged in the laboratory from water collected from tree holes in January 2016, were identified as Aedes (Stegomyia) cretinus. During the same period (June 2015), Ae. cretinus adults were also collected by the Public Health authorities of the Republic of Cyprus from a local residence at Avdellero village, Larnaca district. Aedes cretinus is a species with limited distribution and close resemblance to the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus. Information on mosquito species and their respective geographic distribution is fundamental for the goal of reducing the impact of emerging vector-borne viral zoonoses in Europe and targeting control for vector and nuisance species. Our study highlights the need for educational and raising awareness programmes regarding insects of medical importance as well as the importance of collaboration and networking between the relevant authorities.

Abstract: In January 2013, a female mosquito collected during the week 18th-25th July 2012 in Lelystad (The Netherlands) during routine national vector surveillance was morphologically identified and genetically confirmed as the Asian bush mosquito, Aedes japonicus japonicus. In order to assess the extent of the infestation area, subsequent extensive mosquito surveillance in the surrounding area during 2013 consisted of visual inspection of potential habitats and adult trapping in increasing radially around the location of the initial finding. This surveillance confirmed the existence of a widely established population of Ae. j. japonicus in the municipality of Lelystad. Despite this detection, it was decided not to implement any mosquito control measures for two reasons: this would require large scale biocidal treatment and community participation in order to be effective, and this species is not a confirmed vector of disease agents in the field. As an alternative, it was decided that community information would be provided to enable management measures such as larval habitat source reduction.

Larvae, pupae and adults were collected between October 12th and 29th 1999 in used-tyre storage centres. The tyre recycling company imports numerous tyres from the USA, Italy and Japan. Reproduction of the species has certainly taken place in France, and the environmental conditions make the establishment of the species possible.

Cx. torrentium was associated with Anopheles petragnani, Culiseta longiareolata, Cs. annulata, Culex impudicus, Cx. hortensis and/or Cx. pipiens. Although different taxonomic characters for larvae and females have been tentatively used to separate Cx. torrentium from Cx. pipiens, only male genitalia can be used as a reliable diagnostic character.

Those that exist are species catalogues (seguy, 1925a; Hedeen, 1958, 1959; Callot & Rioux, 1965), sometimes including distribution and bibliography (Rageau et al., 1970; Moussiegt, 1986). A certain number of species listed in the literature cannot be considered as truly belonging to the French fauna. Furthermore, duing the last few years, new species have been described, and taxonomic changes have occurred (synonyms, new sub-genera, etc.). The purpose of this paper is to update the list of species collected in France and Corsica.
