Resumo: | Female mosquitoes (Culicidae) were collected in human bait weekly between March 1997 to February 1998, in three different areas of the oceanic region of Niterói city, Rio de Janeiro State, in southeastern coast of Brazil. The results indicated the presence of 16 species: Anopheles aquasalis, Aedes scapularis, A. taeniorhynchus, A. albopictus, A. aegypti, Haemagogus leucocelaenus, Psorophora ferox, P. conffinis, P. cingulata, Culex quinquefasciatus, C. nigripalpus, Coquillettidia venezuelensis, Uranotaenia calosomata, Limatus durhami, Weyomyia oblita and Phoniomyia sp. A statistical analysis between monthly female frequencies and temperature, air humidity and precipitation monthly indices was done, using Sperman correlation in Statistica 4.2 program. The only difference among the collected points is the higher number of species collected in Engenho do Mato, in spite of the differences between them in relation to vegetal formation and conservation. The species showed higher frequencies of females during spring and summer seasons, and permit us to conclude that temperature and precipitation demonstrated high levels of correlation to female frequencies along the one year study, but the same was not observed in relation to air humidity. Some of the identified species, such as Aedes aegypti, A. albopictus, A. scapularis, Haemagogus leucocelaenus and Culex quinquefasciatus are important as disease vectors and control suggestions are made in front of the relative abundance of them in different periods of the year.
