Abstract: | <p>There are few major works on French mosquitoes. 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.</p> |
