1451 individuals of 19 mosquito species were collected and identified from the 8 sampling
sites of the
Velyka Dobron’ Game Reserve. Samplings were carried out with a light trap in one site,
and with an insect aspirator
in the other 7 sites. The most abundant species in the area were Aedes vexans, Ochlretotatus
sticticus and Aedes cinereus, which species can be described as widespread, but several
rare species occurred which are unknown for the
fauna of the Bereg-plain and even Transcarpathia. 9 species were caught only with
the light trapping method.
Mosquito assemblages of the 7 sites sampled with insect aspirator were compared and
evaluated. The most speciesrich site was a village yard among them.
