Özet: This study was carried out in order to determine the monthly oviposition characteristics of Anopheles maculipennis Meigen sensu lato, Anopheles claviger Meigen sensu stricto, and Culiseta longiareolata Macquart at the artificial containers in a selected area under the influence of “hot dry summer sub-climate type (Csa)” in Thrace, Turkiye. For the study performed between June 2015 and May 2016 on monthly basis, four artificial containers were placed on different sites in a selected periurban location, and the year-round breeding characteristics of the mosquitoes were monitored from egg-laying to adult emergence. The number of oviposited eggs and emerged adults recorded during the study were as it follows: five egg batches and eight adults of An. maculipennis, two egg batches and 55 adults of An. claviger, and five egg rafts and 185 adults of Cs. longiareolata. Our data indicates that An. maculipennis is a typical hot summer species, and An. claviger is active in spring. Although the number of eggs that can be observed is insufficient for precise inference, the results reveal that Cs. longiareolata may have a biphasic seasonal breeding pattern.
