Observations were made on 100 female Aedes fluviatilis (Lutz) maintained individually from the first blood meal onwards and allowed one blood meal during each oviposition cycle, 5% dextrose solution been supplied throughout life. The average length of live was 49.9 ± 17.8 days; the logarithm of the mortality rate increased proportionately to physiological age. The insects took an average of 7.3 ± 3.2 blood meals and produced a mean of 7.9 ± 3.7 clutches of eggs. There was a progressive decrease, proportional to advancing physiological age, in the mean numbers of eggs laid in successive oviposition cycles, in the intervals between blood feeding oviposition, and in the numbers of larvae that hatched. Delayed oviposition, transient sterility and a total loss of fertility were also recorded.

Vinte espécies do gênero Diplotriaena Henry & Ozoux, 1909 que ocorrem no Brasil, foram estudadas. A taxonomia desse grupo de nematódeos parasitos de aves é baseada na forma e tamanho dos tridentes e espículos. Para todas as espécies forma registradas suas dimensões, hospedeiros e distribuição regional, através de tabelas comparativas. Comentários a respeito de algumas espécies foram feitos, de modo a fornecer dados adicionais. É também apersentada uma chave para a determinação das espécies.

The males of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis occur in two forms, one which bears a single pair of pale spots on tergite 4 and another in which an additional pair of spots characterizes tergite 3. In crosses between laboratory reared stocks of the two forms originating from allopatric and sympatric sites in Brazil nearly all males of one form fail to inseminate females of the other. In addition, insemination failure between some allopatric populaytions of Lu. longipalpis with similar tergal spot patterns is recorded, indicating the existence of additional forms in an apparent species complex. The possibility that Lu. longipalpis sensu latu represents more than a single taxon is discussed and the relevance of these findings to future epidemiological studies on kala-azar is considered.

“Lampas y el Espíritu de la Naturaleza” estudia la controvèrsia entre Henry More i Robert Hooke a propòsit de la filosofia mecànica de la naturalesa en el context del pensament filosòfic i científic del segle XVII a Anglaterra, una controvèrsia que malgrat que es pugui considerar obsoleta en la seva forma no ho és en el seu fons, ja que tant les qüestions plantejades per More com les observacions de Hooke són pertinents i no són lluny, mutatis mutandis, de determinats plantejaments del nostre present.

Se describe un área semiárida del noroeste de Costa Rica en donde Lutzomyia longipalpis es abundante en los corrales alrededor de los domicilios. Las capturas mensuales durante dos anõs consecutivos sobre diversos cebos, mostraron que las hembras se alimentan ávidamente de vacuno, caballo, cerdo, perro y humano. De un de 14.215 ejemplares capturados el 90.5% eran machos y la abundancia de la especie fue mayor en los meses más secos, disminuyendo la población notablemente en la época lluviosa. Se discute la posibilidad de que las leishmaniasis visceral pueda establecerse en la zona en el futuro, em forma similar a como sucede en otros países centroamericanos, aunque la enfermedad es aún desconocida en Costa Rica.

We regard Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) allpha (Lutz & Peryassú, 1921) as a nomen nudum in view of the ambiguities in its original description, as explained in this note.

The males of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis occur in two forms, one which bears a single pair of pale spots on tergite 4 and another in which an additional pair of spots characterizes tergite 3. Almost complete reproductive isolation between sumpatric populations of the two forms and between allopatric populations of the one-spot form has been reported (Ward et al., 1983). Micromorphological differences in cuticular structures on the spots have also been observed and may be sites of pheromone release (Lane & Ward, 1984). Detais of the known distribution of the two are based on the examination of new specimens captured in Brazil during 1982, as well as museum collections and specimens from other laboratories. Males with a single pair of pale spots have been found from Mexico to southern Brazil, whilst the two-spot form is found only from the state of Maranhão in North Brazil to Minas Gerais and the border with Paraguay. In the eastern area of Brazil the two forms occur sympatrically in some locations and separately in others.

Para a utilização em infecções experimentais e xenodiagnósticos de infecções naturais por leishmânias dermotrópicas do Rio de Janeiro, estabelecemos, em laboratório, uma colônia de Lutzomyia intermedia apresentando aqui a metodologia seguida, juntamente com dados relativos ao rendimento e duração de cada fase evolutiva nas quatro primeiras gerações.

A closed Lutzomyia longipalpis colony, from Ceará has been used to transmit Leishmania chagasi isolated from a fox in Pará state. The last time this colony was successfully used in similar transmission experiments was eight years (64 generations) ago indicating that this colony of Lu. longipalpis has fully maintained its vectorial capacity in spite of such a long period of maintainance in the laboratory.

Com a "Segunda contribuição para o conhecimento das espécies brasileiras do genero Silulium", Lutz (1910) descreve 18 espécies novas, porém dedica somente um breve parágrafo a S. hirtipupa, mencionando exclusivamente caracteres específicos para a pupa, aliás insuficiente. Descrevemos aqui, pela primeira vez, os adultos e a larva, redescrevemos a pupa e elegemos um neótipo para a espécie.
