Abstract
Results of a recent survey of the 3 species of Anopheles mosquitoes, A nopheles (Nyssorhynchus) aquasalis, Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) argyrita rsis, and Anopheles (Anopheles) pseudopunctipennis, on the island of G renada are contrasted with the only other published survey of these sp ecies on Grenada, which was published in 1938. Results suggest that a significant change in the abundance and distribution of each species h as occurred over this period. Physical characteristics of the aquatic habitats for each species are described and compared.
