ABSTRACT
Adult and larval specimens of anopheline mosquitos were collected throughout eastern Honiara during a study into risk factors for malaria illness in adults. Species identification was by morphology, DNA probes and by PCR. Only Anopheles farauti s.s. were identified from part-night landing catches carried out from 1900 to 2200 hours. Most mosquitos attracted to humans were culicines. The majority of anophelines (85%) were captured between 1900 and 2000 hours. An. farauti s.s. larvae were most common but one An. farauti No. 7, and ten An. punctulatus larvae were also collected.
