Abstract
The number of Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles counted in situ on five sheets of paper was compared with that of mosquitoes captured in a Nozawa blacklight trap at two cow sheds in Tsu City, Japan, to evaluate the effectiveness of the in situ counting method. The total number of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus collected on 27 lighttrap-nights (434,362) was greater than that counted in situ on 270 paper samples (18,093). A highly significant temporal correlation (Kendall's tau = 0.54) was shown between the numbers of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus collected per light trap night and per paper sample.
