چکیده

Laboratório de Entomologia Médica, Departamento de Microbiologia e Parasitologia do Centro de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil. Recebido para publicação em 11/8/2003 Aceito em 1/9/2003 Os bambus e taquaras podem fornecer criadouros para mosquitos de várias espécies, principalmente de Sabethini , e sua fauna tem sido estudada em vários continentes 8 . Os mosquitos podem efetuar postura em bambus cortados ou furados. Em bambus furados, em que há predominância de Sabethes (Culicinae: Sabethini), os ovos são pouco resistentes à dessecação. O comportamento de postura de Sa. chloropterus foi observado em laboratório em bambus com pequeno furo; a fêmea lança os ovos em vôo, através dos orifícios, e o autor considerou provável que tal comportamento ocorra em outros mosquitos que na natureza se desenvolvem em bambus. Mosquitos deste gênero, além de Haemagogus, têm sido incriminados como vetores de vírus de febre amarela silvestre.
