We here synthesise published records in an updated distribution chart. The western Palaearctic region is divided into 5 areas and 75 geographical units, the latter mainly considered on a country basis or on a geographical basis (e.g. islands). The total number of species accounts for 145. The status of each species for a defined geographic unit is given according to five categories: 'Present native', 'Present introduced', 'Uncertain for presence or absence', 'Absent extinct' and 'Absent never observed'. Relevant references are given per country in the annex. specialized TAXONOMIE MOUSTIQUE REPARTITION GEOGRAPHIQUE REGION PALEARCTIQUE EUROPE MOYEN ORIENT AFRIQUE DU NORD 052CULARB02 080ZOOGEN01 37 1-28 2019 8756-971X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080141 8756-971X [F B010080141] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080141 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers20-11/010080141.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-11-25 2025-05-05 fdi:010080141 fre
