Abstract: The insect material collected by the expedition of the Entomology Department of
the National Museum, Prague in Iran and Turkey included 6 species of mosquitoes
belonging to 3 genera: Anopheles maculipennis s. l. (group), An. hyrcanus
(Pallas), Aedes pulchritarsis (Rondani), Ae. vexans Meigen, Culex
tritaeniorhynchus Giles and C. pipiens Linné. The zoogeographical assessment of
the material in question (family Culicidae) shows that distribution areas of
species of Palearctic and Oriental regions meet in the territory studied. The
species identified are known as parasites of man and vectors of some infectious
agents.
