Records of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) (Diptera, Culicidae) in artificial containers in Ribeirao Preto City, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil

摘要

Thirty immatures of Anopheles darlingi Root, Anopheles argyritarsis Robineau-Desvoidy and Anopheles rondoni (Neiva & Pinto) (were found in an artificial lagoon situated near Pardo River, in Ribeirao Preto City, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The presenceof immatures of Anopheles darlingi breeding in a lagoon is suggestive of the potential capacity of that species to adapt and occupy new habitats and to invade urban areas along the species distribution range and also disperse to new localities.
