[Ceratopogonidae (Diptera) of the Congolese Mayombe. II. Contribution to the study of a Culicoides community].
Owing to adapted methods of sampling and regular captures carried out during one year, the study of a Culicoides community could be realized in the Mayombe mountain in Congo. Nineteen species were recorded. Quantity and frequency of each of them have been computed. For the principal species feeding habits, phototaxis, sex-ratio, seasonal fluctuations are analysed. Influence of climatic parameters is discussed.
