Abstract
Differential attraction of mosquitoes to chemical and incandescent lig ht sources was compared using battery operated suction traps placed in a tropical lowland forest. Females of Culex adamesi Sirivanakarn, Cx. amazonensis (Lutz), Cx. corniger Theobald, Cx. declarator Dyar & Knab , Anopheles mattogrossensis Lutz & Neiva, Aediomyia squamipennis (Lync h), Mansonia amazonensis (Theobald), Uranotaenia apicalis Theobald, an d Ur. geometrica Theobald were significantly attracted to chemically p roduced light. Light sources influenced the number of species attracte d, the time (trap-nights) necessary to detect them, and the numbers of specimens collected per species.
