  abstract = {{A}n updated checklist of 235 mosquito species from {M}adagascar is presented. {T}he number of species has increased considerably compared to previous checklists, particularly the last published in 2003 (178 species). {T}his annotated checklist provides concise information on endemism, taxonomic position, developmental stages, larval habitats, distribution, behavior, and vector-borne diseases potentially transmitted. {T}he 235 species belong to 14 genera: {A}edeomyia (3 species), {A}edes (35 species), {A}nopheles (26 species), {C}oquillettidia (3 species), {C}ulex (at least 50 species), {E}retmapodites (4 species), {F}icalbia (2 species), {H}odgesia (at least one species), {L}utzia (one species), {M}ansonia (2 species), {M}imomyia (22 species), {O}rthopodomyia (8 species), {T}oxorhynchites (6 species), and {U}ranotaenia (73 species). {D}ue to non-deciphered species complexes, several species remain undescribed. {T}he main remarkable characteristic of {M}alagasy mosquito fauna is the high biodiversity with 138 endemic species (59%). {P}resence and abundance of species, and their association, in a given location could be a bio-indicator of environmental particularities such as urban, rural, forested, deforested, and mountainous habitats. {F}inally, taking into account that {M}alagasy culicidian fauna includes 64 species (27%) with a known medical or veterinary interest in the world, knowledge of their biology and host preference summarized in this paper improves understanding of their involvement in pathogen transmission in {M}adagascar.},
