Following the ongoing inventory efforts conducted in Cambodia by the Medical and Veterinary Unit of the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, and after intensive collection work in the eastern part of the country, we report 20 new mosquito species from Cambodia. Among these new records, none are considered to be of medical importance. Along with these new records, and incorporating 2 recently described species, we provide an updated checklist of the Culicidae fauna of Cambodia, which now includes 312 species, 43 of which are known to be of medical importance and are involved in the transmission of pathogens.
Résumé
Suite aux efforts d’inventaire menés au Cambodge par l’Unité Médicale et Vétérinaire de l’Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, et après un travail intensif de collecte dans la partie orientale du pays, nous rapportons 20 espèces de moustiques nouvelles pour le Cambodge. Parmi ces nouveaux signalements, aucun n’est considéré comme ayant une importance médicale. Avec ces nouveaux signalements, et en incorporant 2 espèces récemment décrites, nous fournissons une liste actualisée de la faune des Culicidae du Cambodge, qui comprend maintenant 312 espèces, dont 43 sont connues pour être d’importance médicale et impliquées dans la transmission d’agents pathogènes.
