About this book

Mosquitoes of North America: North of Mexico is a comprehensive resource that consolidates decades of research on mosquito species found in North America. Building on foundational works by Howard, Dyar, and Knab (1912–1917) and later studies, this book fills a critical gap by presenting an updated and concise account of mosquito taxonomy, biology, and distribution. It is designed to serve entomologists, mosquito control technicians, and field researchers with detailed keys for species identification, descriptions of life stages, geographic distribution records, and discussions on bionomics and medical significance.

The text also provides valuable illustrations created by expert entomological artists, with figures of male terminalia, larvae, and adult mosquitoes meticulously drawn to aid in identification. Following the taxonomic arrangement of Edwards (1932), the book ensures consistency while incorporating recent discoveries and classifications. With additional contributions from leading researchers and institutions, and references to a vast array of literature, this work serves as an indispensable guide for understanding mosquito ecology and for supporting effective mosquito control strategies in the region.

This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1955.
