Abstract  

As an important quarantine pest in the world, it is extremely crucial to identify some mosquitoes at ports in China through online image comparisons. The typical morphometric characters of head, thorax and abdomen of adult female mosquitoes were divided into multiple anatomical features under the frame of the current taxonomic system in China, and these features were further split into two sub-selections in the dichotomous parallel mode, and then these features and sub-selections were linked with relative entities of mosquito genera by the internationally popular insect classification diagnostic software Lucid Professional v3.5. Finally, a latest online key to mosquito taxonomy of China (Diptera: Culicidae) was generated by a classification and diagnosis network service system Lucid Key Server v1.0. This key was based on a matrix of 34 candidate features, 68 alternative sub-selections, 89 precise illustrations of the representatives of each genus, along with the quality database of mosquito genera created by a biodiversity automatic database building software Fact Sheet Fusion v1.0. The users could distinguish the unknown specimen from 2 subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae, 10 tribes, 21 genera (including 2 subgenera) by clicking on any of the alternative features or sub-selections. To sum up, this interactive multiplex intelligence identification system to mosquito genera has good image comparison and recognition functions, and can provide an effective tool in the morphological identification of important vectors of mosquito-borne diseases.

交互式多途径中国蚊虫属级检索鉴定系统

作为世界上重要的检疫害虫,通过图像比对在线识别中国口岸蚊虫至关重要。本文主要利用国际流行的昆虫分类诊断软件Lucid Professional v3.5,根据中国当前分类系统,按雌性成蚊“头、胸、腹”3部分,依次将其典型鉴定特征划分成若干个多元“Features”,再按“二叉平行模式”将每个“Features”细分成2个子项,同时,将这些多元特征和子项与其相应的检索对象“Entities”蚊属逐一进行多重关联,通过分类诊断网络服务系统Lucid Key Server v1.0形成最新中国蚊属(双翅目:蚊科)在线“Key”检索表。用户只需点击其中任一备选特征或子项,就可以通过该检索表中34个备选特征、68个候选子项和89张典型图片,以及用生物多样性自动化建库软件Fact Sheet Fusion v1.0创建的蚊属多样性基本信息数据库,完成按蚊亚科和库蚊亚科2亚科10族21属(含2亚属)蚊虫在线鉴定。该交互式多途径智能鉴定系统具有良好的图像比对与识别功能,可为今后蚊媒传染病重要传播媒介的形态鉴定提供有效工具。
