| Abstract: | The fauna of blood-sucking Diptera in Northwestern Russia comprises 226 species of mosquitoes (Culicidae), biting midges (Ceratopogonidae), black flies (Simuliidae) and horseflies (Tabanidae). In particular, Culicidae inclide 41 species from 10 subgenera of 5 genera of 2 subfamilies. Simuliidae are represented by 110 species of 23 genera, belonging to 6 tribes of 2 subfamilies; genus Culicoides of the Ceratopogonidae;, by 31 species; and Tabanidae, by 44 species of 7 genera from 2 subfamilies. There is a necessity of elaboration and application more advanced forms of the information storage and field data standardization. In the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, a special database of the blood-sucking insects of Russia is created in the DBMS Access. A list of abundant blood-sucking species of mosquitoes, biting midges, black flies and horseflies is included. A brief synopsis of bibliography of investigations of the blood-sucking dipterans in Northwestern Russia is given provided with a list of more then 190 publication. |
