Anopheles triannulatus (Neiva and Pinto): a new Anopheles record from Trinidad, West Indies.
We report the first collection of Anopheles triannulatus from Trinidad, West Indies. Adults were captured using human bait while larvae and pupae were collected from a pond located in Valencia, north Trinidad. The associated species was An. oswaldoi. This new record increases the number of mosquito species belonging to the Genus Anopheles to 14 and the total species count from 162 to 163 in Trinidad, West Indies.
