KULKARNI National Institute of Communicable Diseases/I. C.M.R. Scheme for Malaria, Jagdalpur-49400J; M.P. INTRODUCTION Genus Aedes is medically very important since it includes vectors of some fatal viruses like dengue & Chickungunya in India. Some of the aedine species are also known to transmit Zika, Reo, and Tembusu viruses in Malaysia and Dirofilaria in Japan & Thailand. The Bastar district of Madhya Pradesh remained poorly known for his aedine mosquito faun.a. The only mosquito record presented by Hussainy (1981) includes four species viz., Aedes albopictus, A. scatophagoides, A. w-albus and A. vittatus, from this area. The present communication deals with the distribution records of some 24 species collected from Bastar district (Madhya Pradesh). This study was made during the period from year 1980 to The description of study area, climat~, topography, and materials & methods used, have already been presented in Part I (Rajput and Kulkarni, 1984). For identification mainly the adult characters were used. Genital characters of males and the charactf!rs of immatures were also taken into consideration whenever those forms were available. The identification was done with the help of Barraud (1934), Huang (1977; 1979) and Reinert (1973). Besides, some other papers were also ~onsulted. The classification and nomenclature used here is mainly based on synoptic catalogue of the mosquitoes of the World (Knight & Stone, 1977 ; Knight, 1978).
