How to use this catalog
The home page provides many options for accessing the mosquito systematic
data:
- You may pick a genus or genera, subgenus or subgenera and/or country,
countries or continent from the lists in the “Genera and Subgenera” and/or “Geographical Locations” windows on the home page. To select more than one: PC: Hold [Control d] & Click; Mac: Hold [Command] & Click. Then click on the “Search” button to send your query.
- The “Advanced Search” allows you to search by generic, subgeneric or species name. You may also search by country or type locality.
- The “Taxonomic Table” is a list of genera
and subgenera in alphabetical order. Clicking any of these links will
generate a browser page from the database. This page can be saved
by your browser for future reference.
