This study was carried out in the northeast region of Konya in Turkey, between April and December 2004, to determine the vertical distribution of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) larvae and pupae. Larvae and pupae were collected using the saturated sugar flotation technique in mud samples taken from a range of depths of up to 20 cm. In total, 282 adult Culicoides were obtained. The number of larvae and pupae decreased as the depth increased; at 2.5 cm, 97 Culicoides larvae and 73 Culicoides pupae were found. Larvae and pupae of C. nubeculosus (Meigen) and C. puncticollis (Becker) were mostly found in organic matter-rich breeding sites, while larvae and pupae of C. gejgelensis Dzhafarov and C. festivipennis Kieffer were mostly found in organic matter-poor breeding sites. Culicoides larvae and pupae were obtained largely in July and August.
本研究于2004年4月至12月在土耳其科尼亚的东北地区开展，以确定蠓（双翅目：蠓科）幼虫和蛹的垂直分布情况。使用饱和糖浮选技术，从深度达20厘米的一系列泥样中采集幼虫和蛹。总共获得了282只成年蠓。幼虫和蛹的数量随深度增加而减少；在2.5厘米深处，发现了97只蠓幼虫和73只蠓蛹。云雾蠓（梅根）和点刺蠓（贝克尔）的幼虫和蛹大多在富含有机物的孳生地中发现，而杰盖尔蠓 贾法罗夫和节庆蠓 基弗的幼虫和蛹大多在贫含有机物的孳生地中发现。蠓幼虫和蛹主要在7月和8月获得。
