Abstract
To date, there is no annotated checklist of blood-sucking mosquito species of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The present publication provides a list of blood-sucking mosquito species compiled on the basis of an analysis of publications containing data on the fauna of haematophagous mosquitoes inhabiting the territory of Kazakhstan. In compiling the list, data from monographic summaries on the systematics, biology and ecology of mosquitoes, from supplements and revisions to these summaries, and from individual articles on the mosquitoes of Kazakhstan were used. According to the compiled list, the fauna of blood-sucking mosquitoes of the Republic of Kazakhstan currently comprises 69 species. Of these, 10 species belong to the genus Anopheles , one species each to the genera Uranotaenia and Coquillettidia , the genus Culiseta is represented by 6 species, the genus Aedes includes 42 species, and the genus Culex is represented by 9 species. Outdated taxon names of various ranks and synonymous species names that have lost their validity are frequently encountered in the literature. Taxonomic remarks on certain species are provided at the end of the list.
