Distribución estacional de Culicidae (Diptera) en áreas periféricas de Córdoba (Argentina)

Female, fourth stage larvae and rafts were sampled fortnightly in two farms of Córdoba city. Baited animal (chicken) traps were used to collect females and ladles for immature stages. Captures were made during February 1986-November 1987 and April-September 1988. The species collected as females and/or larvae were, from the most to the least abundant, Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx. apicinus, Cx. dolosus, Cx. saltanensis, Cx. bidens, Cx. brethesi, Cx. maxi, Aedes albifasciatus, Cx. spinosus, Cx. acharistus , and Cx. chidesteri. Aedes albifasciatus was mainly captured in summer and fall while Culex species were collected throughout the year, although peaks of mosquito abundance were from September to March; Culex apicinus, Cx. bidens, Cx. brethesi, Cx. dolosus and Cx. quinquefasciatus would be homodynamic species because they were collected all year round.
