Twenty species of Anopheles are presently known from Senegal. An. gambiae, An. arabiensis, An. pharoensis, An. rufipes and An. ziemanni have an extensive distribution. Probably because of climatic change, An. funestus is no more found in some areas and An. paludis tend to disappear. An. melas is located in coastal areas. The other species, namely An. coustani, An. brohieri, An. brunnipes, An. domicola, An. flavicosta, An. freetownensis, An. hancocki, An. maculipalpis, An. nili, An. pretoriensis, An. squamosus and An. wellcomei, are mainly found in southern Senegal. Only An. gambiae, An. arabiensis and An. funestus are of epidemiological significance as vectors of malaria and bancroftian filariasis. Twelve arboviruses have been isolated from eight Anopheles species. Each Anopheles species is illustrated and an identification key is given.
目前已知塞内加尔有20种按蚊。冈比亚按蚊、阿拉伯按蚊、法老按蚊、棕足按蚊和齐氏按蚊分布广泛。可能由于气候变化，在一些地区已不再发现恶疟按蚊，而帕氏按蚊也趋于消失。梅氏按蚊分布在沿海地区。其他种类，即库斯塔尼按蚊、布氏按蚊、棕腿按蚊、家栖按蚊、黄缘按蚊、弗里敦按蚊、汉氏按蚊、黄斑按蚊、尼罗按蚊、普氏按蚊、鳞斑按蚊和韦氏按蚊，主要分布在塞内加尔南部。只有冈比亚按蚊、阿拉伯按蚊和恶疟按蚊作为疟疾和班氏丝虫病的传播媒介具有流行病学意义。已从8种按蚊中分离出12种虫媒病毒。文中对每种按蚊都有图示，并给出了鉴别检索表。
