Abstract Mosquitoes serve as competent vectors of various pathogens. Vector-pathogen interactions, as well as ecology and spatiotemporal distributions, are often species-specific, highlighting the need to monitor the presence and abundance of different mosquito species. While morphological examination for species identification remains widely used in monitoring programs, molecular methods, such as DNA barcoding, offer a greater taxonomic resolution.

Mitochondrial COI barcode sequences recovered three different haplotypes, however this data does not reveal whether single or multiple introduction events have occurred.
