Background:

Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of malaria.
Understanding mosquito distribution is crucial for disease control.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the first confirmed presence of Anopheles neomaculipalpus in Guatemala.
To document the geographic distribution and habitat of this mosquito species within the country.

Main Methods:

Specimen collection of adult female and larval Anopheles mosquitoes.
Morphological identification of collected specimens.
Geographic data recording for collection sites.

Main Results:

Anopheles neomaculipalpus was confirmed in Guatemala, marking its first record in the country.

Specimens were collected from geographically distinct areas, indicating a potentially wider distribution.

Initial habitat data for the species in Guatemala were recorded.

Conclusions:

The presence of Anopheles neomaculipalpus in Guatemala necessitates further investigation into its ecological role.
This discovery may have implications for malaria surveillance and control strategies in the region.
Continued monitoring of Anopheles populations is essential for public health.
