Abstract

Mosquito collections were carried out in May 1978 and March 1979 in Lombok Island, Republic of Indonesia, in association with an arboviral survey. Thirty species of mosquitoes in 8 genera were collected in 1978 from East and West Lombok; 18 species in 4 genera were obtained during intensive adult collections in 1979. The 30 species of mosquitoes identified in these studies compares with 16 species previously reported from Lombok and 31 others presumed to be present based on records from neighboring islands. The possible involvement of certain species in disease relationships is discussed.
