Abstract
A survey was conducted for Aedes albopictus in southern Texas during t he summer of 1992. Thirty-five new county records were added to the di stribution of this imported mosquito in Texas. Aedes albopictus was wi dely distributed throughout the ecological regions in the survey area, but its abundance decreased in counties adjacent to the Rio Grande Ri ver. However, these counties had high densities of Aedes aegypti.
