    Abstract:
    A new phytotelm plant for the Americas is recorded for San Miguel de los Bancos, Pichincha Province, Ecuador. In the leaf axils of Crinum moorei Hook. f. (Amaryllidaceae) were collected larvae and pupae of a common mosquito, Wyeomyia (Dendromyia) complosa (Dyar) (Diptera: Culicidae: Sabethini). This plant is a South African native, introduced into several countries, but never reported as a habitat for immature mosquitoes. We provide notes about its botanical and ecological characteristics, and also of the mosquito associated at this locality. Una nueva planta phytotelma para el continente Americano es registrada en San Miguel de los Bancos, Provincia de Pichincha, Ecuador. En las axilas de Crinum moorei Hook, f.

Esta planta es nativa de Africa del Sur, y ha sido introducida en varios países, pero nunca había sido señalada como hábitat para las fases inmaduras de mosquitos. Se hacen comentarios botánicos acerca de la planta así como también del mosquito asociado en la localidad.
