J Am Mosq Control Assoc. 2023 Mar 1;39(1):45-47. doi: 10.2987/22-7106.

Abstract

Larvae collected from an oak tree hole east of Brackettville, Kinney County, Texas, resulted in the collection of 3 species: Aedes triseriatus, Ae. zoosophus, and Haemagogus equinus. One larva and 1 female of Hg. equinus were recovered from this sample. This is the first report of Hg. equinus in Kinney County and the first report of this species being collected in Texas since 1962. Samples collected from other sites documented the presence of Ae. epactius, Culex nigripalpus, and Psorophora signipennis in Kinney County.
