【 摘 要 】

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2014v27n1p151 Since mosquito immatures had been previously reported found in bamboo internodes in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, a study was conducted from January to March 2011 to evaluate the mosquito fauna associated with artificially drilled bamboos in eight localities in the eastern region of this state. Ninety-one mosquitoes of the following species were recorded:Aedes albopictus(Skuse, 1894) (1.1%),Culex soperiAntunes & Lane, 1937 (11.0%),Onirium personatum(Lutz, 1904) (6.6%),Sabethes aurescens(Lutz, 1905) (38.5%),Sa. identicusDyar & Knab, 1907 (16.5%),Sa. intermediusLutz, 1904 (3.3%),Sa. purpureus(Theobald, 1907) (1.1%),Trichoprosopon pallidiventerLutz, 1905 (6.6%),Trichoprosopon soaresiLane & Cerqueira, 1942 (2.2%) andWyeomyia limaiLane & Cerqueira, 1942 (24.2%). The finding ofAe. albopictusin perforated bamboos and the diversified mosquito fauna, whose biology is mostly poorly known, indicates the need of more detailed studies. Bamboo internodes constitute an important breeding place for mosquitoes of several species in the studied area.Sabethes intermediusandCulex soperiare reported for the first time in the state.
