蚊虫标本制作技术

Mosquito Specimens Making Technology

蚊虫是一类重要的媒介昆虫,有关蚊虫的生物学和形态分类学等研究是有效控制它们的前提;完好的卵、幼虫、蛹、成虫、外生殖器标本是开展蚊虫形态分类等研究的基础。然而以往报道的蚊虫标本制作技术尚不完善,因此有改进的必要。本文系统地介绍了一套经过多年实践而改进、总结出的较理想的蚊虫标本制作工具;在原有方法的基础上结合多年的蚊虫标本制作经验系统地总结和报道了卵、幼虫(包括幼虫皮)、蛹(包括蛹皮)、成蚊及其外生殖器标本的制作技术,对以往蚊虫标本制作的技术有许多完善和补充,特别蚊虫各阶段标本的处理技术,旨在为蚊虫研究工作者制作蚊虫标本提供方法指导。同时本文还首次详细介绍了蚊虫针插标本和玻片标本包装和邮寄方法,为蚊虫分类学研究者之间进行标本交换提供了方法指导。

Mosquito is a kind of important medical insects. Mosquito biological and morphological taxonomic research is the premise of effective control of mosquitoes. Specimen making of the mosquito egg, larvae, pupa and adult, genitalia is essential for taxonomic study. However, the technology for mosquito specimens making is yet to be improved and perfected. With many years of practice and improvement, this paper proposes the ideal and portable tools of specimen making, and the specimen making processing of the eggs, larvae, pupae, larval and pupal exuviae, adults, male and female genitalia, and also introduces the packaging and mailing method of mosquito pincushion specimens and slide specimens. These techniques have a lot of improvements on the basis of earlier protocols, and can provide with for the making, and transport of mosquito specimens.
