Gf. Omeara et Lf. Evans, DISCOVERY OF A BROMELIAD-INHIBITING CULEX (MICRAEDES) SP IN SOUTH FLORIDA, Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 13(2), 1997, pp. 208-210
Immatures of a Culex (Micraedes) sp, were collected from bromeliads at
6 sites in Dade County, FL. This discovery represents the first time
a member of this subgenus has been detected in the continental United
States. The Cn. (Micraedes) sp. was found in both native and exotic br
omeliads, and at some sites this Culex occurred in these plants as fre
quently as Wyeomyia spp.
