Abstract

Mansonia are aggressive mosquito species that are abundant in aquatic ecosystems where the macrophyte plants occur. These mosquitoes are commonly found across the Amazon/Solimões River basin. However, little is known about the oviposition behavior of these species. In the present study, we registered observations on the oviposition activity of 3 species: Mansonia amazonensis, Ma. humeralis, and Ma. cf. titillans, in 5 species of macrophytes in the vicinities of the Madeira River, Porto Velho, State of Rondônia, Brazil. Overall, 197 egg batches were collected. A greater amount of egg batches was found in Salvinia molesta as compared with other macrophytes sampled. In addition, 2 new oviposition habitats were noted in Ludwigia helmintorrhiza and Limnobium spongia. These findings will be important to understand the reproductive dynamics of these mosquitoes in the Brazilian Amazon basin.

巴西亚马逊雨林马德拉河沿岸曼陀罗种的产卵活动。

曼氏蚊是一种具有侵略性的蚊子，在大型植物生长的水生生态系统中非常丰富。这些蚊子常见于亚马逊河/Solimões河流域。然而，人们对这些物种的产卵行为知之甚少。在本研究中，我们记录了3种昆虫的产卵活动:Mansonia amazonensis, Ma。肱骨和马。参见巴西Rondônia州韦柳港马德拉河附近的5种大型植物中的提兰。总共收集了197批鸡蛋。与取样的其他大型植物相比，在molesta Salvinia中发现了更多的卵批。此外，还发现了2个新的产卵生境，即helmintorrhiza Ludwigia和Limnobium spongia。这些发现对于了解巴西亚马逊盆地这些蚊子的繁殖动态非常重要。
