摘　　要：Objective:To determine the variations in morphological characters of Culex pipiens complex and identify the species complex.Methods:A study was carried out from April to October 2009 in Yazd Province,Iran.This study was performed in two randomly selected rural villages in Yazd County using different sampling methods such as larval collection,hand catch,pyrethrum space spray,light trap,and pit shelter collections.The data were analyzed using SPSS software Ver. 16.ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to compare the ratios of the samples.Results: The average of the DV/D ration was 0.090±0.007 and the range was 0-0.33.The average D/V ratio was 1.07±0.02,with maximum 1.6 and minimum 0.6.The costa and subcosta intersection were observed beyond the bifurcation of R2+3 in most of the specimens.The bifurcations of R2+3 and M1+3 veins were not on one direction in all samples.The range of the R-Ceh7R2+3 ratio was 2.42-7.91.The average ratio of cross wing was 2.25±0.04 with a range of 1.36-3.70.Conclusions: More populations of Culex pipiens from different areas of Iran need to be studied to gain complete information about the taxonomy and ecology of the species.Objective:To determine the variations in morphological characters of Culex pipiens complex and identify the species complex.Methods:A study was carried out from April to October 2009 in Yazd Province,Iran.This study was performed in two randomly selected rural villages in Yazd County using different sampling methods such as larval collection,hand catch,pyrethrum space spray,light trap,and pit shelter collections.The data were analyzed using SPSS software Ver. 16.ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test was used to compare the ratios of the samples.Results: The average of the DV/D ration was 0.090±0.007 and the range was 0-0.33.The average D/V ratio was 1.07±0.02,with maximum 1.6 and minimum 0.6.The costa and subcosta intersection were observed beyond the bifurcation of R2+3 in most of the specimens.The bifurcations of R2+3 and M1+3 veins were not on one direction in all samples.The range of the R-Ceh7R2+3 ratio was 2.42-7.91.The average ratio of cross wing was 2.25±0.04 with a range of 1.36-3.70.Conclusions: More populations of Culex pipiens from different areas of Iran need to be studied to gain complete information about the taxonomy and ecology of the species.
