The phenomenon of autogenity has been examined by means of different criteria both in nature and in laboratory in 25 blood-sucking species of the genus Culicoides, which were collected in Russia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Kazakhstan during 1979-1990 years. An autogenetic maturation of eggs has been observed in 6 species, and the absence of this phenomenon has been observed in 19 species. It is suggested, that autogenity or non-autogenity is a species characteristic of blood-sucking midges. The processus of autogenetic vitellogenesis takes the time from later pupa (more than 2 days of this stage) to earlier imago (lesser than 2-3 days of this stage).
1979年至1990年期间，在俄罗斯、乌兹别克斯坦、阿塞拜疆、亚美尼亚、格鲁吉亚和哈萨克斯坦采集了库蠓属25种吸血昆虫，利用不同标准在自然环境和实验室中对其孤雌生殖现象进行了研究。在6个物种中观察到了卵的孤雌生殖成熟现象，而在19个物种中未观察到这种现象。研究表明，孤雌生殖或非孤雌生殖是吸血蠓的物种特征。孤雌生殖卵黄发生过程从蛹后期（该阶段超过2天）持续到成虫早期（该阶段少于2 - 3天）。
