Taxonomy, ecology and distribution of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of the Dutch Leeward Islands, with a key to the adults and fourth instar larvae Author Cooper, David Author Yamaguchi, Nobuyuki Author Macdonald, David Author Nanova, Olga Author Yudin, Viktor Author Dugmore, Andrew Author Kitchener, Andrew text Contributions to Zoology 2020 2020-07-13 89 1 373 392 journal article 267813 10.1163/18759866-bja10005 8fc3165a-cf74-4f36-9c48-aa343e4433cb 1875-9866 8343373 Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albimanus Wiedemann, 1820 Anopheles albimanus had been recorded once as larvae from a well in Rockland on Sint Maarten by Van der Kuyp (1953 , 1954 ). During our survey, adults were caught in Belvedere district near the French border, which is approximately two kilometers from the place where Van der Kuyp observed this species. Van der Kuyp (1954) mentioned the finding of An. “ tarsimaculatus ” [sic] on French Saint Martin by B.J. Emanuels in the 1920s. At the time, the name tarsimaculatus was invalidly proposed as emendation for An. albipes by Goeldi (1905) . Both names are now recognized as synonyms of An. albimanus (fide Rozeboom & Gabaldon, 1941 ). We assume Emanuels’ finding of An. albimanus to be correct because there are no other Anopheles species present on the neighboring islands, and Faran (1980) also recorded this species from French Saint Martin .
