Abstract

The mosquitoes Anopheles barberi, Orthopodomyia signifera, and Orthopodomyia alba are recorded for the first time in Canada. All three species were found breeding in the water-filled rot cavities of trees in the deciduous forest of Point Pelee National Park, Ontario. Attention is drawn to the probable rarity of these mosquitoes in Canada and their conservation is recommended.
