The metric variation of size and shape of wing of Aedes albopictus was determined based on the geometric patterns of the wing venation and compared between natural populations from Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. The geometric characteristics of the female wings were described at 18 anatomical landmarks, and processed according to Procrustes superposition and subsequent multivariate analyzes. The centroid size was calculated as size parameter while as shape parameter the metric disparity (MD) was calculated. On one hand, the overall wing size range from 601.70 to 1423.83 pixels, being the North Vietnam (Hanoi) population with the lowest mean size (823.49 pixels), while the Myammar population with the highest mean size (981.46 pixels). On the other hand, the metric disparity of shape varied from 0.00131 (Center Japan) to 0.00276 (South Vietnam). Here, the contextual heterogeneity of wing size and shape of Ae. albopictus across its geographic distribution will be described.
