Abstract
Data on mosquitoes collected in Kirov Province were analyzed. An annotated list of 25 species of the family Culicidae was compiled. Analysis of their biotopic distribution and species diversity was performed. The Berger-Parker dominance index, Shannon diversity index, and index of occurrence of adult mosquitoes in typical biotopes of the region were calculated.
