Abstract
The seasonal distribution and abundance of Culex nigripalpus Theobald and Cx. salinarius Coquillett were compared in mined and unmined areas of the central Florida phosphate region. Total Culex spp. populations were significantly higher in mined than in unmined areas, but seasonal trends were similar in both locations. The 2 species demonstrated very little seasonal overlap, with Cx. salinarius being most numerous from March through June and Cx. nigripalpus dominating from June through November. Within the mined region, no difference was seen in adult Culex spp. population levels between waste clay and waste sand areas.
