Anopheles neivai Howard, Dyar & Knab, 1912

This mosquito is found in Central and northern South America. It bites humans, domestic animals and birds, mainly early in the morning or in the evening. A. neivai is considered to be a malaria vector in some areas and may be common in certain environments (e.g. see Escovar et al., 2013).

A. neivai has been recorded to breed in forest environments and can be abundant in mangrove swamps. For example, it has been collected from water accumulated in the leaf axils of epiphytic bromeliads and from tree holes.

Identification keys have been published in the following three articles: 1) for adult males, 2) for fourth-instar larvae and 3) for adult females.
