Abstract

A total of 194 specimens were collected (160 larvae, 34 pupae) representing 6 species from 4 genera (Aedes aegypti, Ae. scapularis, Culex coronator, Cx. nigripalpus, Haemagogus anastasionis, and Limatus durhamii). In the study, a total of 18 larvae of Li. durhamii (9.28%) were collected in natural and artificial breeding sites in the municipalities of Campeche (3), Escárcega (6), Hecelchakán (6), and Tenabo (3). We report here the first collection record of Li. durhamii for the state of Campeche in southern Mexico. Further studies are necessary to investigate the geographic distribution of Li. durhamii throughout the country.
