Abstract

Th e objective of the investigation was to report the species of culicids registered in the Department of Jutiapa, Guatemala
associated with bio-ecological aspects between 2009 and 2017. A retrospective–descriptive study was carried out through
a documental review of the sample register of the Departmental Laboratory of Entomology of Jutiapa. Th is information
is the result of inspections made inside and around domiciles three times per year in 100% of the urban and rural areas
that include houses, vacant lots and natural breeding grounds. Seven genera with 17 species were collected. Aedes aegypti
(Linnaeus, 1762), Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1824) and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say, 1823) had the widest distribution. El
Adelanto and Moyuta as well as Agua Blanca, Atescatempa and Santa Catarina Mita were the municipalities with the
highest variety of species. Uranotaenia sapphirina (Osten Sacken, 1868) was registered as a new species in the Department.
