Les conditions de sécheresse qui ont sévi au Maroc de 1981 à 1983 ont favorisé la sélection d'un nouvel habitat par Culex pipiens, espèce particulièrement plastique, le creux d'arbre en subéraie. La description morphologique de la larve du stade 4, de la nymphe et des imagos ♂ et ♀ montre que ces populations dendrolimniques s'apparentent à la forme Culex pipiens autogenicus.
Abstract
The dry conditions which occurred in Morocco from 1981 to 1983 have resulted in the selection of a new habitat by Culex pipiens, which is a very adaptable species, in hollows of trees. Morphological descriptions of the fourth larval instar, the pupae and the male and female adults have shown that these populations living in tree holes (phytotelmata) belong to the form C. pipiens autogenicus.
