A list of type specimens of 100 mosquito species deposited in the Entomological collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is presented. It includes five holotypes belonging to the subfamily Anophelinae; 56 holotypes of Culicinae and two of Toxorhynchitinae. A lectotype is designated for Toxorhynchites fluminensis. The holotypes of six nominal species - Psorophora chiquitana, Psorophora circunflava, Psorophora melanota, Psorophora lanei, Wyeomyia brucei and Uranotaenia noctivaga - previously considered non existent or of unknown location were found in the collection.

Key words: Diptera - Culicidae - Anophelinae - Culicinae - Toxorhynchitinae - mosquito type specimens

The importance of collections as a basis for scientific research is unquestionable and their significance has been stressed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (72 D) and by many authors, such as Lent (1972) and Kim (1976). The Entomological collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) is diversified and contains around one million specimens. The collection began in 1900 with insects collected during scientific expeditions undertaken by IOC researchers. The scientific expeditions aimed the capture of insects to determine their relation to human and animal diseases, hence the collection has a rich scientific and historical patrimony.

Mosquitoes have been the subject of research of several workers in the Institution, such as its founder, Oswaldo Cruz. These researchers were mostly interested in general parasitology and tropical diseases, but dozens of mosquito species were described by them, as well as by visitors working in the Institution, such as J Lane and N Cerqueira. Presently, mosquito type specimens are mainly deposited in a general collection, called the Central collection , or in three special collections presently closed to new deposits and named in honor of entomologists from the Institution: Cesar Pinto, Adolpho Lutz and Costa Lima. The insect collections were under Costa Lima s responsibility until his death in 1964. Afterwards, Orlando V Ferreira and Sebasti o Jose de Oliveira have subsequently taken them under their responsibility.

Recently, a list of type specimens of triatomine bugs, the vectors of Chagas disease, deposited in IOC was published by Goncalves et al. (1994). A list of the mosquito type specimens deposited in the collection of the Institution is presented in this paper. Some specimens were previously regarded as lost (Belkin et al. 1971, Knight & Stone 1977).

Mosquito species names are listed in alphabetical order within an alphabetical arrangement of subfamilies and genera, as proposed by Belkin et al. (1971). Each specific name is followed by the author s name, year of publication, data on the type material and a condensed description of its taxonomic status.

Discussion

The only remaining male from the unspecified number of males, females and larvae utilized by Peryassu (1908) in the original description of Toxorhynchites fluminensis is herein designated as the lectotype. It agrees in all pertinent characters and locality specified in the species original description.

Belkin et al. (1971) designated lectotypes for both Anopheles cuyabensis and Anopheles rondoni, being wings of adults apparently lost, mounted together on the same slide (no. 403). Nevertheless we have found at IOC specimens of each of these species, labelled "type" by the authors (A Neiva & C Pinto), and having all pertinent characters and localities specified in the respective original species description. These specimens are here labelled as paralectotypes.

The holotype of six species previously considered lost or of unknown location by Belkin et al. (1971) and Knight and Stone (1977), were found at IOC: Psorophora chiquitana, Psorophora circunflava, Psorophora melanota and Psorophora lanei, Uranotaenia noctivaga and Wyeomyia brucei.

Belkin et al. (1971) supposed that the two demaged females (no. 2048, vial 1060), from Duas Barras, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil (wing on slide 2347), Costa Lima collection of Psorophora (Grabhamia) scutipunctata (Lutz and Neiva, 1911) presently at IOC could be syntypes. However, these specimens were not collected at the type locality and were not marked as "type" by the authors.

Belkin et al. (1971) designated a male in the U.S.N.M. as the lectotype for Phoniomyia edwardsi. A single female labelled by J Lane and NL Cerqueira as the "allotype" of this species was found at IOC, which is here labelled as a paralectotype.

The type material of Anopheles intermedius (Peryassu, 1908), Culex fasciolatus (Lutz,1904), Culex theobaldi (Lutz, 1904), Trichoprosopon pallidiventer (Lutz, 1905), Trichoprosopon humboldti Lane and Cerqueira, 1942, Trichoprosopon compressum Lutz, 1905, Wyeomyia rooti (Del Ponte, 1939 [possibly in CP Rene Rachou, Belo Horizonte, Brazil]) and Wyeomyia subcomplosa (Del Ponte, 1939 [possibly in CP Rene Rachou]) were not found after exhaustive search in the collection at IOC. The specimens previously listed or suggested as possibly being type material of Anopheles lineatus (Lutz, 1905), Anopheles parvus (Chagas, 1907) and Anopheles pseudomaculipes (Peryassu, 1908) by Belkin et al. (1971) and Knight and Stone (1977) are not from the respective type localities. They are without data, and because they have questions marks on the slides and vials prepared by Costa Lima nearly thirty years after the original description, there is no justification for affording them type status.
