Abstract

Culex (Phenacomyia) lactator (Diptera: Culicidae) was detected in Broward County. Here we describe a single larval habitat where Cx. lactator larvae were collected in the winter of 2023 and 2024 in the City of Miramar. Adult specimens of this species were collected from two locations in fall 2022 using CDC light traps and in winter 2023 using Biogents BG-Sentinel 2 traps. In this paper, we provide larval habitat description and photographic evidence of morphology consistent with Cx. lactator larvae and adults.
