Culiseta glaphyroptera (Schiner, 1864): a common species in the southwestern Czech Republic

摘要

Mosquitoes hibernating in underground shelters were studied in the winters of 2003–2004 and2011–2012 in West Bohemia, Czech Republic. Five taxa were recorded: Culiseta alaskaensis(Ludlow, 1906), Culiseta annulata (Schrank, 1776), Culiseta glaphyroptera (Schiner, 1864),Culex pipiens complex and Anopheles maculipennis complex. Culiseta glaphyroptera was thesecond most abundant and the second most frequent species. This species hibernated mainlyin small numbers, but several mass hibernation shelters with 100–200 specimens were found.
