Abundance and Seasonal Distribution of the Common Species of Ceratopogonidae (Diptera) Occurring in the State of Connecticut1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

Early in the course of a study of the dipteran family Ceratopogonidae,it was realized that very little was known about the species composition, both in numbers and kind, in the state of Connecticut. Consequently a sltudy was set up to determine the species present and the relative abundance of the more common forms. The results of this study are presented in this paper.
