Abstract

ABSTRACT: Amazonian savannas are among the most noteworthy landscape components of the coastal plain of French Guiana. Although they cover only 0.22% of the territory, they bring together a large part of the animal and plant diversity of this overseas region of France. This article outlines the results of the first study dedicated to mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of Amazonian savannas. Samplings were conducted in eight independent savannas evenly distributed along a transect of 170 km on the coastal plain of French Guiana. A total of 50 mosquito species were recorded, which is about 20% of the culicid fauna currently known in French Guiana. Among them, Culex (Melanoconion) organaboensis sp. nov. and Cx. (Mel.) zabanicus sp. nov. are newly described based on both morphological features of the male genitalia and a DNA barcode obtained from type specimens. Diagnostic characters to assist their identification are provided and their placement within the infrasubgeneric classification of the subgenus Melanoconion is discussed.

法属圭亚那亚马逊热带草原上的蚊子（双翅目：恙螨科）以及两个新物种的描述

ABSTRACT: 亚马逊热带草原是法属圭亚那沿海平原最值得关注的景观组成部分之一。虽然其面积仅占国土面积的 0.22%，但却汇集了法国这一海外地区的大部分动植物多样性。本文概述了首次专门针对亚马逊热带稀树草原蚊子（双翅目：Culicidae）的研究结果。在法属圭亚那沿海平原 170 公里横断面上均匀分布的八个独立热带草原上进行了采样。共记录到 50 种蚊子，约占法属圭亚那目前已知秆蚊动物群的 20%。其中，根据雄性生殖器的形态特征和从模式标本中获得的 DNA 条形码，新描述了 Culex (Melanoconion) organaboensis sp.提供了有助于鉴定它们的诊断特征，并讨论了它们在 Melanoconion 亚属的下属分类中的位置。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vector Ecology is an international journal published by the Society for Vector Ecology. It is concerned with all aspects of the biology, ecology, and control of arthropod and vertebrate vectors and the interrelationships between the vectors and the agents of disease that they transmit. The journal publishes original research articles and scientific notes, as well as comprehensive reviews of vector biology based on presentations at Society meetings. All papers are reviewed by at least two qualified scientists who recommend their suitability for publication. Acceptance of manuscripts is based on their scientific merit and is the final decision of the editor, but these decisions may be appealed to the editorial board. The journal began publishing in 1974 and now publishes on-line only.
