Abstract

Using two sibling species of the Aedes detritus (Haliday, 1833) complex, one autogenous (A) and the other anautogenous (B), the role played by the larval environment on vitellogenesis was confirmed. A poor larval diet reduced the fecondity equally of both autogenous and anautogenous females. With the latter however blood meal ensured the maturation of a not negligible number of ovocytes.
