In the Neotropical Region, the mosquitoes, grouped in the tribe Sabethini (Arthropoda, Insecta, Diptera: Culicidae) are considered of medical importance by the role that some species may have in arbovirus transmission; also, because they are good bioindicators. More than 400 species are currently recognised and are mainly associated with forest areas. The tribe Sabethini is poorly studied and the information about diversity and distribution for species relating to it is scarce. In Colombia, 54 species of the tribe are known; however, several geographical areas have not been included in the studies for this group and data for recent field collections are not available; therefore, the records are outdated.
This study presents the species list of the Sabethini tribe in Colombia, based on a review of previous publications and recent unpublished data. The list includes 68 species of nine genera and 16 subgenera. The genus Wyeomyia has the highest species number (39), followed by Sabethes (14). A total of 29 new records are registered and actualized information related to the local distribution in some Departments is presented, including geographic coordinates. In this paper, the distribution records of Sabethini for Colombia are updated, revealing the high diversity of this group in the country and providing some useful information for species that may need surveillance or control.
Sabethini, Colombia, Neotropical Region, records data
Tribe Sabethini of the subfamily Culicinae is composed of 432 recognised species of 14 genera (
In the Neotropical Region, the tribe Sabethini is related to arbovirus transmission. The genera Johbelkinia, Limatus, Sabethes, Trichoprosopon and Wyeomyia include species recognised as potential vectors (
In Colombia, there are no recent studies related to this tribe, except published works by
The list of species presented in this study was compiled using the following reports: (
Species distribution records were classified into ecoregions (

This species checklist with distribution records of sabethine mosquitoes constitutes a first approximation to demonstrate the diversity of this group in Colombia. The results largely reflect the sampling efforts in specific ecoregions of the Colombian territory and the lack of studies in other areas with ecological conditions that may harbour species of Sabethini mosquitoes (Fig.
A total of 68 species and 16 subgenera were recognised. Wyeomyia was the genus with the highest number of species (39). This genus exhibits the greatest number of species in the tribe (139) and, according to authorities, is prioritized for a taxonomic revision. Although Wyeomyia is divided into 17 subgenera, 29 species are without subgeneric placement (
Colombia is also divided into 34 ecoregions (
Data indicate Wyeomyia occurs in 12 ecoregions. Chocó-Darién Moist Forests and Cauca Valley Montane Forests included the greatest number of species of this genus with a total of 26 and 19, respectively. Remarkably, Wyeomyia was the unique genus present in mangrove ecoregions. Limatus exhibit a wide distribution with presence in 10 ecoregions. This genus is represented by two species in the country, L. asulleptus and L. durhamii, the last one exhibiting the most cosmopolitan distribution in the tribe with presence in eight ecoregions.
Species of the genus Sabethes are involved in the transmission of very important arobovirus, such as yellow fever and Mayaro virus (
In this study, the ecoregions with high numbers of Sabethini species contain known or suspected vector species. In Chocó Darien Moist Forests, an annual average of 16,000 mm precipitation (
The Cauca Valley Montane Forests exhibit humid forest of the lower elevations (<1500 ma.s.l.) (
The Apure-Villavicencio Dry Forest is a transition zone between montane forests and extensive plains, composed of a mosaic of premontane forests, dry forests, savannah and gallery forests with low annual precipitation (
Two potential new species of the genus Trichoprosopon are mentioned in the distribution records (Suppl. material
This work does not represent the complete distribution of the Sabethini tribe in Colombia, but it constitutes a first approximation to the more complete knowledge of the group in Colombia, including species and distribution. We consider ongoing studies to be relevant and intend to conduct a review of the material deposited in the entomological collections of museums and entities dedicated to the sampling of the Culicidae family for public health studies.
