title: The mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Maliuc (Danube delta)--faunistical and ecological data.
abstract: The paper reports the results of the survey of the mosquito fauna in the Maliuc area (Danube delta) in 1983-1985. 16 mosquito species have been recorded in the area during the investigations: Anopheles maculipennis--complex, An. hyrcanus, Uranotaenia unguiculata, Coquillettidia richiardii, Culiseta annulata, Aedes vexans, Ae. cinereus, Ae. caspius, Ae. dorsalis, Ae. excrucians, Ae. flavescens, Ae. leucomelas, Ae. intrudens, Culex pipiens, C. martinii, Cx. modestus. They have been captured by light traps, on human bait, with entomological hand net and within an indoor resting site (building). Six types of habitats of adult mosquitoes, taking into account the characteristics of the soil and vegetation have been identified in the area. The quantitative and qualitative differences of the mosquito fauna within these six habitats have been recorded. Also, the suitable capture methods within every habitat have been established.
