The mosquito fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Croatia</strong> currently includes 48 species. This is the first checklist <strong>of</strong> this type, and will not be the<br />

final version as our systematic, ecological and distributional investigations are ongoing. The checklist includes names <strong>of</strong><br />

authors who first recorded the presence <strong>of</strong> a particular species <strong>of</strong> mosquito in <strong>Croatia</strong>, as well as a review <strong>of</strong> the relevant<br />

literature and documentation.<br />

Introduction<br />

<strong>Croatia</strong> is a country with a wide variety <strong>of</strong> ecosystems and habitats, and a rich and diverse flora and fauna which, because<br />

all climatic, geological and ecological factors have not yet been fully studied, has almost certainly not yet been fully<br />

listed. As our investigations are ongoing, we expect the mosquito fauna will in future expand to include more species. In<br />

this respect we note the finding in neighbouring countries <strong>of</strong> Aedes albopictus, recorded in Italy, Serbia and Montenegro,<br />

and Culex torrentium recorded in Vojvodina, Serbia and Montenegro in 1983 (petric, 1989).<br />

The first documented data on the mosquito fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Croatia</strong> is in the list <strong>of</strong> <strong>Diptera</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bosnia and Herzegovina and<br />

Dalmatia compiled by Strobl (1898), which includes only two species <strong>of</strong> <strong>Culicidae</strong>: Culex pulchritarsis (now<br />

Dchlerotatus pulchritarsis) and Cx. omatus (now Dc. geniculatus). In 1902, the same author added four new species to<br />

his list: Cx. vexans (now Aedes vexans), Cx. spathipalpis (now Culiseta longiareolata), Cx. nemorosus (now Dc.<br />

communis) and Cx. pipiens, <strong>of</strong> which all but Cx. pipiens were found within the borders <strong>of</strong><strong>Croatia</strong>.<br />

Langh<strong>of</strong>fer (1916) included the following species in the list <strong>of</strong> the dipteran fauna <strong>of</strong><strong>Croatia</strong>: Cx. nemorosus (now Dc.<br />

communis), Cx. pipiens, ex. annulatus (now Cs. annulata), Cx. annulipes (now Dc. annulipes), Cx. bicolor (now<br />

synonymised with Cx. pipiens) and Cx. cantans (now Dc. cantans). Martini (1924) recorded the presence <strong>of</strong> Anopheles<br />

maculipennis s.l. in the Neretva Delta, but did not distinguish between the taxa within the complex. He also recorded the<br />

presence there <strong>of</strong> An. sacharovi and An. algeriensis.<br />

Karaman (1925) published a paper on <strong>mosquitoes</strong> and mosquito control in Dalmatia, recording for the first time<br />

Mansonia richiardii (now Coquillettidia richiardil), Stegomyia fasciatus (now Ae. aegyptl), Cx. modestus, Cx. hortensis<br />

and Cx. territans. Anopheles hyrcanus s.l. was recorded near Metkovic. He also found An. plumbeus, An. superpictus, Ae.<br />

dorsalis (now Dc. dorsalis), Ae geniculatus (now Dc. geniculatus), and Uranotaenia unguiculata. Later Apfelbeck<br />

(1925, 1929, 1931) successively found An. claviger, Dc detritus, An. subalpinus (now classified as a morphological egg<br />

variant <strong>of</strong> An. melanoon) in Metkovic.<br />

Zotta (1935) was the first to distinguish between the taxa belonging to Anopheles maculipennis complex identifying those<br />

present as Anopheles maculipennis variety messeae, var. typicus and var. atroparvus. Missiroli (1939), who continued<br />

studying this complex, documented an additional record <strong>of</strong> var. atroparvus. Trausmiler (1949) investigated the<br />

'biological races' <strong>of</strong> the common mosquito (Culex pipiens) and for the first time in the country literature used the name<br />

Culex pipiens molestus; he also recorded the presence <strong>of</strong> An. labranchiae.<br />

Pavisic (1951) discussed the pest <strong>mosquitoes</strong> in <strong>Croatia</strong> and listed several additional species, viz. Ae. cinereus, Ae.<br />

caspius (now Dc. caspius), Ae. flavescens (now Dc. flavescens), Ae. mariae (the later studies <strong>of</strong> Coluzzi et al. (1974)<br />

showed that older Adriatic records <strong>of</strong> this species in reality represent records <strong>of</strong> its allopatric sibling species Dc.<br />

zammitiz), Ae. punctor (now Dc. punctor), Ae. rusticus (now Dc. rusticus), and Cs. jumipennis, Cs. morsitans, and<br />

Drthopodomyia pulcripalpis. Labuda (1981) discovered the presence <strong>of</strong> Ae. zammitii (now Dc. zammitii) in the <strong>Croatia</strong>n<br />

coastal area. Baranov (1943) first recorded the presence <strong>of</strong> Ae. sticticus (now Dc. sticticus).<br />

For the past 18 years Merdic has investigated <strong>mosquitoes</strong> in <strong>Croatia</strong>. He reported the following additions to the mosquito<br />

fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Croatia</strong> (Merdic, 1988): Ae. excrucians (now Dc. excrucians), Ae. cataphylla (now Dc. cataphylla) and Ae.<br />

rossicus. A further species Ae. riparius (now Dc. riparius) was recorded for the first time by Merdic (1992), and four<br />

8


years later Ae. leucomelas (now Qc. leucomelas) and Cx. martinii were discovered (Merdic & Skoda, 1996). Also in<br />

1996 Oc. nigrinus, and Cs. glaphyroptera were recorded in Gorski kotar (Merdic, 1996). Ochlerotatus behningi was<br />

recorded for the first time in <strong>Croatia</strong> in the Maksimir Park in Zagreb (Merdic, 2002).<br />

The presence <strong>of</strong> Cs. subochrea, found in Dalmatia, is reported here for the first time making a total <strong>of</strong> 48=CUITently<br />

recognised species so fur found in <strong>Croatia</strong><br />

The checklist is based on bibliographic data as well as on accumulating knowledge about the existing species. By the mid<br />

20th century 60% <strong>of</strong> the known mosquito fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Croatia</strong> had been determined. Like in many other <strong>European</strong> countries<br />

at that time, the interest <strong>of</strong> scientists in <strong>mosquitoes</strong> (especially those <strong>of</strong> the subfamily Anophelinae) was the result <strong>of</strong><br />

widespread malaria. In order to eradicate the disease, it was necessary to study the biology <strong>of</strong> the Anopheles vector<br />

species. After malaria had been eradicated, new species <strong>of</strong> <strong>mosquitoes</strong> were recorded, and previous findings were<br />

confirmed. Mosquitoes were investigated regardless <strong>of</strong> their role as vectors, but the potential possibility <strong>of</strong> disease<br />

transmission was always stressed and more recent papers have focused mainly on applied entomology.<br />

In the literature review references to available publications are marked (*) and other bibliographic data is unmarked.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> difficulties in finding the oldest literature some <strong>of</strong> which no longer exists, judicious interpretation <strong>of</strong> some<br />

documents had to be exercised.<br />

CHECKLIST (SPECIES RECORDED IN THE CROATIAN LITERATURE)<br />

A total <strong>of</strong> 48 mosquito species have been recorded in Cn>atia, belonging to 8 genera, as follows: Anopheles (11), Aedes<br />

(4), Ochlerotatus (19), Coquillettidia (1), Culex (5), Culiseta (6), Orthopodomyia (1) and Uranotaenia (1).<br />

The list was compiled according to the current list <strong>of</strong> <strong>mosquitoes</strong> in Europe: A revised checklist <strong>of</strong> <strong>European</strong> <strong>mosquitoes</strong><br />

by Snow & Ramsdale (2003), and it is based on the classification and nomenclature <strong>of</strong> mosquito species included in A<br />

catalogue <strong>of</strong> the <strong>mosquitoes</strong> <strong>of</strong> the World (Knight & Stone, 1977) and its supplements (Knight, 1978; Ward, 1884, 1992;<br />

Gaffigan & Ward, 1985).<br />

NOTES<br />

1. Anopheles atroparvus <strong>of</strong> the Anopheles maculipennis complex, i.e. one individual (female) was found in Podravina<br />

in the village <strong>of</strong>Vrbanovac located in the river plainp.ear the Plitvica river-a tributary <strong>of</strong> the Drava (Zotta, 1935).<br />

The same finding (species and number) appeared in 1981-1982 in the village <strong>of</strong> Otok in Podravina (Adamovic &<br />

Paulus, 1983). Missiroli (1939) also recorded the species. Trausmiller (1946) noted that he had not found the species<br />

in any part <strong>of</strong> continental <strong>Croatia</strong>. Since this species is frequently found in V ojvodina, Serbia and Montenegro<br />

(Adamovic, 1979), i.e. in the area <strong>of</strong> salt habitat, the fact that such areas do not exist in <strong>Croatia</strong> could explain the<br />

rarity <strong>of</strong> the species.<br />

2. The taxon Anopheles hyrcanus, Pallas 1771 is reported to comprise an unknown number <strong>of</strong> cryptic species about<br />

which there is no separate information (Ramsdale, 2001). Until this situation is resolved we are obliged to treat this<br />

taxon as a single species.<br />

3. The species Anopheles sacharovi was recorded for the first time in 1924, when Martini conducted research in the<br />

Neretva delta, i.e. in the towns <strong>of</strong>Metkovic, Yid, Vidonje and Opuzen. After the 1st and 2nd World Wars, the lower<br />

Neretva was considered the region <strong>of</strong> endemic malaria. The epidemiological risk from the species Anopheles was<br />

considerable, which asked for more extensive research in the area. The following authors recorded the same species:<br />

Apfelbeck (1925), Karaman (1925) and Zotta (1935), who also found it in the Neretva delta, which was confirmed<br />

by Tartaglia (1949). The species Anopheles sacharovi, Anopheles atroparvus, Anopheles maculipennis, Anopheles<br />

labranchiae, Anopheles messeae and Anopheles subalpinus, belong to the Anopheles maculipennis complex. The<br />

species Anopheles subalpinus is a synonym for the species Anopheles melanoon (Linton et al., 2002).<br />

4. The species Aedes vexans was recorded as early as 1902, when Strobl named it Culex vexans. As the number <strong>of</strong><br />

generations and their abundance depend to a large extent on the water level <strong>of</strong> rivers, it is the reason why this species<br />

is dominant near rivers, many <strong>of</strong> which can be found in Eastern <strong>Croatia</strong>.<br />

5. Ochlerotatus detritus is a species recently found in Istria It was first recorded by Apfelbeck (1929), who was<br />

studying <strong>Culicidae</strong> in Bosnia and Dalmatia This taxon is now known to comprise two sibling species, Oc. coluzzii<br />

and Oc. detritus s,s" with overlapping distributions (Rioux et al., 1990). Ochlerotatus coluzzii has, as yet, been found<br />

only in North Africa and in Western Europe and, until proved otherwise, we continue to regard the <strong>Croatia</strong>n<br />

populations to be <strong>of</strong> Oc. detritus s.S.<br />

6. Larvae <strong>of</strong> Ochlefotatus sticticus develop in floodplains near rivers, or in puddles that remain after snow melt. They<br />

can <strong>of</strong>ten be found with larvae <strong>of</strong> Aedes vexans. Baranov first recorded it in <strong>Croatia</strong> in 1943, whilst investigating<br />

breeding sites <strong>of</strong> flood <strong>mosquitoes</strong> on the banks <strong>of</strong> the river Drava at Osijek.<br />

7. Langh<strong>of</strong>fer first recorded Culex pipiens in 1916. It is the most significant representative <strong>of</strong> the urban mosquito :fauna,<br />

especially in towns and villages on the Adriatic coast, where it is a great problem during the holiday season. Since its<br />

larvae develop in stagnant waters, small breeding sites that are present in urban areas, this is not surprising. As Culex<br />

pipiens is one <strong>of</strong> the main vectors <strong>of</strong> the West Nile virus, it requires further investigation. The name Culex molestus<br />

is still used in some studies as a form within Culex pipiens complex and is useful in stressing physiological and<br />

behavioural differences even though, from a taxonomic point <strong>of</strong> view, it is incorrect (Ward, 1992). For purely<br />

taxonomic reasons we include Culex pipiens only in our checklist.<br />

8. Culiseta subochrea was found in Dalmatia (Merdic), but this has not yet been published.<br />
