Type: article
Abstract: : Notes and records are provided for mosquitoes collected in Egypt west of the Gulf of Suez during field studies conducted in 1983. Biological data and species associations are presented for 175 separate collections. Seventeen species were collected, including a new country record and an undescribed species. Topotypic material was collected for five nominal species and the type series of three Culex species described from Egypt were located in respositories in Cairo. This report summarizes the data obtained during mosquito field studies conducted in Egypt between March 15 and May 21, 1983. These studies were part of a long-term collaborative arrangement between Ain Shams University, Research and Training Center on Vectors of Diseases in Cairo, the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 in Cairo, and the Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit located at the Museum Support Center, Smithsonian Institution, in Suitland, Maryland.
