Updated checklist of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of Peru with new national records

In Peru, since the beginning of the 20^th century, 18 mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) and three forms have been discovered by previous authors: <i>Anopheles acanthotorynus</i>, <i>An. calderoni</i>, <i>An. peruvianus</i>, <i>Chagasia ablusa</i>, <i>Ae.</i> (<i>Howardina</i>) Iquitos form, <i>Aedes epinolus</i>, <i>Haemagogus obscurescens</i>, <i>Hg</i>. (<i>Conopostegus</i>) Peruvian highland form, <i>Hg</i>. (<i>Con</i>.) Peruvian lowland form, <i>Culex archegus</i>, <i>Cx. debilis</i>, <i>Cx. diplophyllum</i>, <i>Cx. escomeli</i>, <i>Cx. raymondii</i>, <i>Onirion aenigma</i>, <i>On. celatum</i>, <i>Sabethes idiogenes</i>, <i>Trichoprosopon hyperlecum</i>, <i>Tr</i>. <i>subsplendens</i>, <i>Wyeomyia baltae</i>, and <i>Wy. paucartamboensis</i>. Of these, seven species were later synonymized under the name of other species, the rest remain as valid species, one of them is placed in <i>Nomen dubium</i>, and the forms continue retained without specific status. With the intention of updating the checklist of mosquito species in Peru, historical and recent species-records were reviewed and mosquito collections were conducted in specific sites of Peru, resulting in the confirmation of the presence of <i>Hg. anastasionis</i>, <i>Hg. capricornii</i>, <i>Psorophora dimidiata</i>, <i>Ps. cilipes</i>, <i>Cx. usquatissimus</i>, <i>Cx. dunni</i>, <i>Mansonia wilsoni</i>, <i>Johnbelkinia leucopus</i>, <i>Limatus pseudomethysticus</i>, <i>Tr. compressum</i>, and <i>Uranotaenia socialis</i>. Additionally, <i>Ae. aurivittatus</i>, <i>Ae. terrens</i>/<i>zavortinki</i>, <i>Cx. acharistus</i>, <i>Cx. dolosus</i>, and <i>Cx. surinamensis</i> are reported for the first time in Peru, while <i>An. apicimacula</i>, <i>An. mediopunctatus</i>, <i>Ae. condolescens</i>, <i>Cx. bihaicolus</i>, and <i>Sa. tarsopus</i> are removed from the Peruvian mosquito fauna. An updated list of 198 nominal species and four forms of mosquitoes from Peru is presented.
