Culicidae captures by light traps have been done, during one year and at regular intervals in the Madagascar Pasteur Institute's park in Tananarive. 3,350 individuals representing twenty species have been caught. Results show a great specific wealth, inter and intraspecific variations in space and time and this, particularly in relation with rain. Culex quinquefasciatus is in a widely commanding position. The Madagascar Pasteur Institute's park can be considered, by number of present species, as representative of Culicidae fauna of the Tananarive's country.
