Abstract
Trap collections, hand collections from resting places, and larval collections all showed that Culex vishnui, Culex pseudovishnui and Culex tritaeniorhynchus were abundant at different times. The prevalence of C. vishnui was related to the times of planting out new paddy. The fluctuations in abundance of the other 2 species are not well understood. C. tritaeniorhynchus was rarely taken resting in cattle sheds, and was relatively infrequent in outdoor shelters also. It showed a significant preference for sugarcane fields as a daytime resting place, while C. vishnui and C. pseudovishnui were taken in larger numbers in fields of Sesbania grandiflora.
