  abstract = {{T}he biodiversity of mosquitoes in the islands of southwestern {I}ndian {O}cean is the concern of numerous publications. {H}ere, we propose a synthetic inventory and the analysis of the mosquito diversity, based on the available literature. {A} comprehensive annotated checklist of mosquito species has been recently published on {M}adagascar; this is the reason why this land is excluded from our work. {S}tudied area encompasses 28 tropical islands in the southern hemisphere: 4 islands in the {C}omoros archipelago, 5 {S}cattered {I}slands (iles {E}parses), 5 in {M}ascarene, 11 in the {S}eychelles and 3 in the {C}hagos archipelago. {I}n total, the mosquito list presents 73 valid species, of which 10 are {A}nophelinae and 63 {C}ulicinae. {T}he number of species that are distributed in these islands only is 19, i.e. 26%, which is a remarkable level for endemism. {T}he richness in mosquito species in these islands is analysed through several aspects including geography, local speciation and natural or human dissemination. {T}his updated inventory increases by 33% the number of known species by regard to the previous inventory published by {J}ulvez & {M}ouchet in 1994. {T}he historical responsibility of humans in the introduction of new mosquito species in these islands is strongly documented. {F}or instance, the species with the highest distribution among islands are {A}edes aegypti, {A}e. albopictus and {C}ulex quinquefasciatus. {T}he islands belong to the afrotropical biogeographic area and, logically, the majority (63%) of mosquito species present phylogenetic affinities with continental {A}frica and/or {M}adagascar; interestingly, the number of species present in these islands and in {M}adagascar but absent in continental {A}frica is higher than the number of species present in these islands and in continental {A}frica but absent in {M}adagascar (respectively 12 and 2 species). {T}hanks to valuable increase in the sampling effort, our knowledge of the culicidian fauna is increasing in these islands that constitute indisputably hotspots of biodiversity.},
