Mosquito collections were carried out during 2003‐2004 on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Eighteen species of mosquitoes in 7 genera were collected, including three new records, Culex (Culex) mimeticus, Culex (Culiciomyia) sasai and Ochlerotatus (Finlaya) nipponicus . Based on the available information, a total of 28 species representing 7 genera have been recorded from Jeju Island. Larval habitat characteristics, collection sites, bionomics, and vector potential for each of these species are described.
