    Abstract:
    Anopheline mosquito collections were made during the months of May and June (dry season) and August (rainy season), 1996 at villages, Nakham, Namdik and Hinboon Neua in Khammouane Province. Larval collections were also made in 3 slow running streams around Nakham villages in May 1996. Altogether, 3,549 adult females consisting 19 Anopheles species were collected by 3 nights of human and 6 animal bait traps and 3 resting collections. Among them, Anopheles vagus (19.75%), An. philippinensis (15.02%), An. nivipes (11.55%), An. pallidus (11.27%), An. peditaeniatus (8.34%), An. kochi (8.00%) and An. barbirostris (7.27%) were predominant species. The immatures of An. barbirostris, An. minimus, An. maculatus sensu lato, and An. culicifacies were found in the streams of Nakham. It is noteworthy that An. minimus, An. dirus and An. maculatus sensu lato, which are well known malaria vectors in Thailand, were recorded for the first time in this area.
