The Yucatan Peninsula is a biogeographic province of the Neotropical region which is mostly encompassed by the 3 Mexican states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán. During the development of the International Joint Laboratory ELDORADO (Ecosystem, bioLogical Diversity, habitat mOdifications and Risk of emerging PAthogens and Diseases in MexicO), a French-Mexican collaboration between the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) in Mérida, it became evident that many putative mosquito species names recorded in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula were misidentifications/misinterpretations or from the uncritical repetition of incorrect literature records. To provide a stronger foundation for future studies, the mosquito fauna of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula is here comprehensively reviewed using current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology, and distribution of species through extensive bibliographic research, and examination of newly collected specimens. As a result, 90 mosquito species classified among 16 genera and 24 subgenera are recognized to occur in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, including 1 new peninsula record and 3 new state records.
尤卡坦半岛是新热带地区的一个生物地理省份，主要包括墨西哥的 3 个州：坎佩切、金塔纳罗奥和尤卡坦。在国际联合实验室 ELDORADO（墨西哥生态系统、生物多样性、生境变化以及新出现的病原体和疾病风险）的发展过程中，这是一个法国-墨西哥之间的合作项目，涉及 IRD（发展研究所）和 UNAM（墨西哥国立自治大学）在梅里达的合作，显然，在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛记录的许多假定的蚊子物种名称都是错误识别/解释，或者是对不正确文献记录的不加批判的重复。为了为未来的研究提供更坚实的基础，利用目前对物种分类学、生态学和分布的知识，通过广泛的文献研究和对新收集标本的检查，对墨西哥尤卡坦半岛的蚊子区系进行了全面的综述。结果，在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛共发现了 90 种蚊子，分为 16 属和 24 亚属，包括 1 个新半岛记录和 3 个新州记录。
