Abstract:

During the summer season the specific species composition of bloodsucking mosquitoes found in the south of the Tyumen region undergoes considerable changes. In the territory in question the flight time of different types of mosquitoes remains understudied. The maximum of the species diversity in all the climatic zones of the region is observed in June-July, which coincides with the period of the greatest numberof mosquitoes. In the southern taiga sub-zone 26 species of mosquitoes have been registered. Ae. Cinereus is characterized by the longest flight time. 21 species of mosquitoes have been registered in the sub-zone of the small-leaved aspen and birch tree woods; out of them Och. cantans and Och. excrucians have the longest flight time. In the foreststeppe zone we have registered 18 flying species of mosquitoes, with 7 species possessing the longest flight time: Och. cantans, Och. riparius, Och. excrucians, Och. euedes, Och. diantaeus, Ae. cinereus and Ae. rossicus.
