Abstract

This study reports Coquillettidia xanthogaster (Edwards, 1924) for the first time from India. It was collected from Berhampur University Campus, District Ganjam, Odisha. This species is considered to have medical importance, as it can carry pathogens like viruses and protozoans and can act as a potential vector. This new record adds to the understanding of its distribution and zoogeography.
