  abstract = {{F}our mosquito species, including a new species of the genus {S}tegomyia, are reported from {M}ayotte in the western {I}ndian {O}cean. {T}he most abundant species were {S}tegomyia aegypti and {S}t. albopicta. {O}nly one species of the {S}t. simpsoni group was observed, {S}t. bromeliae. {T}he fourth species is {S}tegomyia pia {L}e {G}off & {R}obert n. sp. of which the larva, pupa, male and female are here described. {T}he larval stages of {S}t. pia n. sp. are morphologically similar to {S}t. aegypti but differ in the number of branches of the seta 1-{X}; the adult is morphologically distinct for a number of characters, for instance the scutal ornamentation. {S}tegomyia pia n. sp. is uncommon but not rare, and largely distributed across {M}ayotte. {I}ts larval habitats are natural and diverse including rock pools, tree holes, and cut and severed bamboos. {T}he biology of adults remains unknown, especially female biting behaviour. {B}oth morphological characters and nucleotide sequences of the {ITS}2 and {COI} genes indicate that this species is best placed in the genus {S}tegomyia. {D}ichotomous keys to the four species of {M}ayotte {S}tegomyia are presented for adults and fourth-instar larvae. {T}he potential vector role of these mosquitoes is hypothesised. {T}his paper underlines advances in knowledge of the biodiversity in the {F}rench overseas departments and territories.},
