• W202074562 abstract "Ralph Harbach and Graham SandlantDepartment of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UKE-mail: r.harbach@nhm.ac.ukThe CABIKEY to mosquito genera of the world (Harbach & Sandlant, 1997) is supplied on CD-ROM(£195, ISBN 0 85199 170) and is designed to run under Windows 3 x or Windows 95 on a 486 PC with 8MB RAM, and ideally displaying at least 256 colours. The key was developed to enable identification togenus level of all mosquitoes of the world. The target audience for this product includes vector controlworkers, entomologists and taxonomists, human health and disease researchers and anyone interested in thesystematic and biological diversity of mosquitoes. The application includes separate keys for adults andlarvae, and information on classification and distribution, characteristics, bionomics, medical and economicimportance, and important references for each genus. Comprehensive help files contain information andillustrations on mosquito morphology, a glossary of anatomical terms, mosquito-borne diseases,infrasubfamilial taxa and references. In addition to being a complete reference work for mosquito biologyand natural history, it is a training tool for non-professionals. A free demonstration CD-ROM containing asmall sample set of data from this application is available on request from CABI’s Publishing Division inWallingford, UK (Tel: +44(0)I491 832111, Fax: +44(0)1491826090, E-mail: cabi@cabi.org).This electronic publication might not have been prepared if we had known how much time it wouldeventually consume. What started out as a yearlong project lasted more than three years. As explainedbelow, the research required to produce the CABIKEY illustrates that our knowledge of mosquitotaxonomy is still very incomplete. The following paragraphs are modified from the introduction to theCABIKEY.Identification keys are of fundamental importance in biology. Biological research depends upon the correctidentification of organisms. In addition to being essential tools in systematic studies, keys are the startingpoint for obtaining information about a given taxon and are highly useful in biological studies of all types.This is especially true in the case of mosquitoes because of their importance as vectors of pathogens whichcause human diseases. The need to correctly identify members of the family Culicidae dates back to theturn of the century when it was discovered that malaria and yellow fever were transmitted by mosquitoes.The most recent and comprehensive keys to the mosquito genera of the world were developed by Mattingly(1971). These keys have been variously modified and adapted over the years by different authors, but theirbasic construct and design have changed little despite improved knowledge of mosquito morphology anddiversity, and the advent of personal computers. Since 1971 the number of formally recognised genera hasrisen, previously unknown life stages and species have increased the morphological diversity of the genera,and interactive computer identification systems have been developed, thus dictating the need for thoroughlyrevised and modernised keys for recognising the mosquito genera.CABIKEY for the mosquito genera of the world started out as an experiment to determine how easy ordifficult it would be to develop an interactive computer key from information contained in traditional keys.Unlike conventional dichotomous keys, essentially every character used in the computer key must bescored in a data matrix for every taxon to be identified. Initially we tried to develop a data matrix byextracting character information contained in the keys of Mattingly (1971). It was apparent early on thatapproximately 60% of the character data needed to complete the matrix was unavailable in Mattingly's key.Once the usable data had been extracted and incorporated into the matrix, it was then necessary to searchthrough hundreds of published works for missing data. But much of the missing data could not be found inthe mosquito literature and it became necessary to make extensive use of the mosquito collection at the" @default.
