Relationship of wing length to adult dry weight in several mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae).

R S Nasci1.   

Abstract

The relationship between dry weight at adult emergence and wing length cubed was compared by regression analysis for three mosquito species reared in the laboratory and five species collected from the field. The regression equations were compared by ANCOVA between sexes and sources within species, and among species. Results indicated that the proportional relationship of wing length to teneral adult dry weight is highly variable and that unique regression formulae are required for each mosquito species and sex. Also, the relationship between wing length and dry weight differed within species among specimens reared in the lab versus those collected from the field.
