Abstract
Results obtained with catches performed at several sites of the Ribeir a Valley, SP (Brazil) are reported. Collections with Shannon type trap s showed a concentration of An.albitarsis s.l. in the Experimental Far m of Pariquera-Acu County, associated with the development of irrigate d rice cultivation. Two species of the complex, named A and B, were re cognized. Species B predominated in the samples. Indoor and outdoor cr epuscular human bait captures were performed a the domiciliary environ ment. The two species showed a generally low William's media valve of 0.2, the highest value obtained was 1.6. No differences were found bet ween indoor and outdoor behaviours between the two species of the comp lex.
