Snow-melt alpine mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in New South Wales
Australian Journal of Entomology 35 (2), 113-114
Abstract: Snow-melt pools at a number of localities in the upper altitudes of the Kosciusko National Park were searched for mosquito larvae during October through December 1994. The only species found in pools above 1,600 m was Aedes (Ochlerotatus) nivalis Edwards. Dry-ice-baited light traps were used to sample adult mosquitoes in the same areas but no Aedes species other than Ae. nivalis were collected. Both larvae and adults showed minor morphological variation from published descriptions.
