Abstract

In the course of epidemiological studies on mosquito-borne diseases in Lao PDR in 2000, an undescribed species of genus Armigeres was collected from bamboo internodes with a bamboo hole in Khammouane Province. This species has special morphological characteristics in the male genitalia with an expanded gonostylus having 20 strong teeth, of which the anterior half was longer than the rest. Careful comparisons with related species show that the newly collected material belongs to a new species. It is named as Armigeres (Armigeres) laoensis sp. nov. after the country Lao PDR.
