This scientific note presents the first records of mosquitoes of the tribe Orthopodomyiini in the Yucatan Peninsula. Immature mosquitoes were collected on 2 occasions inside a tures, were obtained and identified as Orthopodomyia kummi based on external characteristics of females and males. This species has been recorded in Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and marginally in the United States, but its presence in the Yucatan Peninsula had gone unnoticed until now. The knowledge about mosquitoes of the genus Orthopodomyia is limited, and their epidemiological importance remains uncertain. Therefore, further studies could provide insights into the ecological and infection dynamics associated with this species. specialized Arboviruses new record Orthopodomyia kummi vector zoonosis MEXIQUE 052 40 2 109-111 2024 8756-971X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010091118 10.2987/24-7173 8756-971X [F B010091118] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010091118 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2024-09/010091118.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2024-09-27 2025-11-06 fdi:010091118 fre
