Abstract
A mosquito Larval survey was carried out in the Southwestern region of Saudi Arabia for a two subsequent years period. Nine mosquito species were identified; 4 Anopheline species; Anopheles arabiensis, An. sergentii, An. multicolor and An. tenebrosus and 3 Culicine species, Culex pipiens, Cx. quinquefaciatus and Cx. theileri as well as one Aedine species, Aedes caspius and Culiseta subochrea. A map was made showing the distribution of the encountered species and a full description of all breeding places was made also. The association of different species in each breeding site was also recorded.
