Abstract

Extensive resting site collections related to arbovirus investigations in 1977 and 1978 yielded more than 800 male specimens. The DV/D ratios of these specimens were determined. In both years intermediates comprised the greatest proportion of the population on a seasonal basis and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say were more numerous than Cx. p. pipiens Linnaeus. In this area there appears to be a considerable gene flow between the two subspecies.
