title: [Population distribution and the dynamics of Aedes caspius development in biotopes of the southern Urals (Culicidae)].
abstract: The distribution of populations and dynamics of the development of the most spread species Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771) was studied from 1977 to 1978 in the biotopes of the South Urals. It has been established that floodplain water bodies are typical hatching sites of these mosquitoes. The hatching of larvae from wintered eggs takes place in the end of March--beginning of April, the emergence of mosquitoes of the 1st generation--in the end of April--beginning of May. Mosquitoes become very abundant by the end of May--beginning of June and in June--July their abundance remains at the same level. The larvae of Ae. caspius are characterized by the agregated type of distribution.
