Distribuição vertical de mosquitos dos géneros Haemagogus e Sabethes, em zona urbana de Goiânia-Goiás-Brasil

Resumo

Vertical distribution of mosquítoes of the genus Haemagogus and Sabethes, in the urban region of Goiânia - Goiás - Brazil The results of weekly captures of mosquitoes performed in Goiânia, from January to December, 1992, are presented using simultaneously human bait on the soií and at a 12-meter platform. Forty-two species were obtained on the soil and 22 on the platform. Of these, Haemagogus (Haemagogus) capricornii (Lutz, 1904) e Haemagogus (Conopostegus) leucocelaenus (Dyar & Shannon, 1924) were registered in similar proportions both on the soil and platform. A discrete tendency to feed on humans on the platform was observed on Sabethes (Sabethoides) chloropterus (Humboldt, 1820), with a 6% increase comparing to that on the soil. Nevertheless Sabethes (Sabethes) belisarioi (Neiva, 1908) fed 6% more on the soil than on the platform. Sabethes (Sabethes) purpureus (Theobald, 1907) was registered on the soil (59%) and on the platform (41%). Sabethes (Sabethinus) intermedius (Lutz, 1904) was found in smaller numbers on the on the top of the trees (11%) and soil (89%).
