During the development of the International Joint Laboratory ELDORADO (Ecosystem, bioLogical Diversity, habitat mOdifications and Risk of emerging PAthogens and Diseases in MexicO), a French-Mexican collaboration between the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement) and UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) in Merida, it became evident that many putative mosquito species names recorded in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula were misidentifications/misinterpretations or from the uncritical repetition of incorrect literature records. To provide a stronger foundation for future studies, the mosquito fauna of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula is here comprehensively reviewed using current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology, and distribution of species through extensive bibliographic research, and examination of newly collected specimens. As a result, 90 mosquito species classified among 16 genera and 24 subgenera are recognized to occur in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, including 1 new peninsula record and 3 new state records. specialized Campeche Neotropics Quintana Roo vector Yucatan MEXIQUE 052 61 2 274-308 2023 0022-2585 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00027061 10.1093/jme/tjad168 0022-2585 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00027061 IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2024-02-07 2025-03-14 PAR00027061 fre
