Abstract
Cuter (Cuter) quinquefasciatus, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) fluviatilis and C uter (Cuter) mollis were found breeding in several kind of flower-hold ing containers at ''Agua Verde'' cemetery. Cuter quinquefasciatus was frequentest in spring and Aedes fluviatilis in summer. Culex mollis wa s found only once. The majority of positive samples occured in concret e and car battery containers. Small glass bottle vases were less posit ive, but a larger density of mosquitoes was observed in glass bottles and plastic containers. Temperature and pluviosity had some influence on sazonal distribution of Aedes fluviatilis and Cuter quinquefasciatu s.
