Bionomics. Males and females of Sa. forattinii have been captured with an entomological net during human landing collections inside tall and shaded forest, between 08:00 and 15:00 ( Cerqueira 1961). Immature stages occur in tree holes and bamboo internodes, usually with small holes ( Forattini & Toda 1967). In the present study, immature stages were collected in a tree hole with a narrow opening and in a bamboo trap with a single hole of 1.5 cm diameter ( Coleção de Culicidae 2023).
