title: New report on the bionomics of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in temporary breeding sites (Diptera: Culicidae).
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Findings of immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in temporary breeding sites, without the presence of aquatic plants or other submerged plant tissue are reported.
  
  
  METHODS
  A systematic scooping technique to collect specimens was used at the breeding site.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis, Anopheles rangeli, An. evansae and Culex sp. were collected from areas of the hydroelectric power station of São Salvador, State of Goiás. CONCLUSIONS This is a novel finding relating to the bioecology of Cq. venezuelensis, a species of medical interest that has been found naturally infected with arboviruses, including Oropouche and West Nile virus.
