Sažetak
Intensive faunal mosquito research has been being carried out in the area of Slavonia and Baranya since 1988. The cantans group comprises mosquitoes characteristic for Palaearctic and Nearctic forests. Out of six mosquito species from the cantans group registered in Croatia, only four have been found in Slavonia and Baranya. These are: Ochlerotatus cantans, Oc. riparius, Oc. excrucians and Oc. annulipes. This paper sublimes the results of the 19-year research of the cantans group mosquito larvae. The Oc. cantans species is the prevalent and most numerous species of all the four species elaborated in this paper. It has been registered in as many as 42 UTM quadrants, which confirms the fact that Oc. cantans is a regular inhabitant of all the forests in Slavonia and Baranya. The other species are less evenly distributed, i.e. Oc. excrucians has been registered in 24 and Oc. annulipes in 7 UTM quadrants. The characteristic dissemination of the Oc. riparius species is present only in the the area of Spačva, i.e. south-eastern Slavonia, comprising of 11 UTM quadrants.
