Abstract Examination of bycatch in traps used for adult mosquito control surveillance and bycatch in larval sampling jars, over the past 21 yr, has revealed a number of new distribution records for arthropods. The literature is reviewed, and new distribution information is presented for 98 species of Diptera, 35 species of Copepoda, 14 species of Lepidoptera, and 1 species each of Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Amphipoda. Among the new information generated are new records for the United States, new records for Florida, range extensions, a new phoretic association, and at least eight undescribed species, five of which have been described and named. Examination of bycatch can provide basic identification on species distribution and seasonal abundance that might otherwise go undetected. About one-third of Florida mosquito control programs that responded to a survey indicated that bycatch from surveillance was examined. There was a moderate association between presence of a biologist or entomologist on staff and examination of bycatch. Florida mosquito control programs may be able to help fill knowledge gaps related to the state's arthropod fauna.

通过使用蚊子监视副渔获物扩展基本的昆虫学知识

摘要 在过去的 21 年中，对用于控制成蚊监测的诱捕器中的兼捕和幼虫采样罐中的兼捕进行了检查，揭示了许多新的节肢动物分布记录。查阅文献，提出双翅目 98 种、桡足类 35 种、鳞翅目 14 种，半翅目、膜翅目和片翅目各 1 种的新分布信息。生成的新信息包括美国的新记录、佛罗里达的新记录、范围扩展、新的泳动关联，以及至少 8 个未描述的物种，其中 5 个已被描述和命名。检查兼捕可以提供物种分布和季节性丰度的基本识别，否则可能无法检测到。佛罗里达州约有三分之一对调查作出回应的蚊子控制计划表明，对监视中的兼捕物进行了检查。工作人员中有生物学家或昆虫学家与检查兼捕之间存在中等关联。佛罗里达州的蚊子控制计划可能有助于填补与该州节肢动物群相关的知识空白。
