Abstract: We investigated the larval dipteran fauna of artificial and natural containers, sewage treatment plants, and storm drains in the Florida Keys. Mosquitoes collected were Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Anopheles crucians, Culex atratus, Cx. nigripalpus, Cx. peccator, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Deinocerites cancer, Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus, and Wyeomyia vanduzeei, as well as an unidentified Culex (Melanoconion) species and an unidentified Anopheles species. Other Diptera collected included a chironomid species in the Chironomus decorus Johannsen group; the filter fly, Clogmia albipunctata; an undescribed psychodid in the genus Austropericoma; a ceratopogonid midge, Dasyhelea pseudoincisurata; and a phorid fly, Megaselia scalaris.

Se investigaron la fauna dipterana de recipientes, de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, y de drenajes pluviales en los Cayos de la Florida. Los mosquitos recogidos fueran Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Anopheles crucians, Culex atratus, Cx. nigripalpus, Cx. peccator, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Deinocerites cancer, Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus, y Wyeomyia vanduzeei, asi como una especie no identificada de Culex (Melanoconion) y otra especie no identificada de Anopheles. Otros dipteros colectados incluyeron una especie de chironómido en el grupo decorus Johannsen de Chironomus; la mosca del filtro, Clogmia albipunctata; una especie de psycódido en el género Austropericoma; un ceratopogónide, Dasyhelea pseudoincisurata; y el fórido, Megaselia scalaris.
