通过近年的区系研究,查阅《Zoological Record》以及相关的分类文献,简述了阿蚊属的系统发生地位及分类研究历史和现状;重点分析阿蚊属各种类在世界动物地理区系和中国动物地理区系中的分布情况。目前,阿蚊属全球已知2亚属58种。该属主要分布于东洋区,少数种已扩散到澳洲区及古北区,其中东洋区48种,占世界总种数的82.76%;澳洲区1种,占1.72%;横跨东洋区及澳洲区的有8种,占13.80%;跨东洋区与古北区的有1种,占1.72%。我国目前已知2亚属19种,占世界已知种数的。该研究为中国阿蚊属及进一步分类学工作提供基础信息。
This paper reviews the taxonomic status of the genus Armigeres Theobald in the world, its phylogenetic status and research history. It also reviews the distribution of different species of the genus in different zoogeographic regions of the world and in China. At present, Armigeres includes 2 subgenera and 58 species worldwide. The Armigeres is mainly distributed in the Oriental Region, but a few species have spread to the Australian Region and to the Palearctic Region. Distribution of 48 species (82.7% of known species) is limited to the Oriental Region. Eight species (13.8% of known species) have distribution across both the Oriental and Australian Regions. Distribution of one species is limited to the Australian Region and one species is reported from both the Oriental and Palaearctic Regions. In China, there are 2 known subgenera and 19 reported species (32.76% of the global species). This work has established an information frame for further taxonomic research of the genus Arrnigeres in China.
