The ecology of mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) was studied in areas of the Serra do Mar State Park, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The influence of the lunar cycle and the daily biting rhythms of mosquito populations were analyzed. Systematized biweekly human bait collections were made in a silvatic environment for 24 consecutive months (January 1991 to December 1992). A total of 20,591 specimens of adult mosquitoes belonging to 55 species were collected from 545 catches. Sabethini species were captured exclusively during daylight periods, with the exception of Trichoprosopon digitatum, while members of Anophelinae predominated during nocturnal hours. Members of the subfamily Culicinae that were collected primary during nocturnal periods included Culex nigripalpus, Coquillettidia chrysonotum and Cq. venezuelensis while daytime catches included Psorophora ferox and Ps. albipes. Others members of culicines mosquitoes that were collected during both day and night included: Aedes serratus, Ae. scapularis and Ae. fulvus. Lunar cycles did not appear to influence the daily biting rhythms of most mosquito species in the area, but larger numbers of mosquitoes were collected during the new moon. Ae. scapularis were captured mainly during the full moon.
在巴西圣保罗州滨海山脉国家公园的一些区域，对蚊虫种类（双翅目：蚊科）的生态进行了研究。分析了月周期和蚊虫种群的每日叮咬节律的影响。在一个森林环境中，连续24个月（1991年1月至1992年12月）每两周进行一次系统化的人饵采集。从545次捕获中总共采集到20,591只成年蚊虫标本，分属于55个种类。除指状毛蚊外，萨氏蚊属种类仅在白天被捕获，而按蚊亚科成员在夜间占主导地位。主要在夜间采集到的库蚊亚科成员包括致倦库蚊、金腹库蚊和委内瑞拉库蚊，而白天捕获的包括凶猛贪蚊和白跗贪蚊。在白天和夜间都采集到的库蚊亚科其他成员包括：锯齿伊蚊、肩章伊蚊和淡黄伊蚊。月周期似乎并未影响该地区大多数蚊虫种类的每日叮咬节律，但在新月期间采集到的蚊虫数量更多。肩章伊蚊主要在满月时被捕获。
