Besides the introduction of some alterations in the known breeding techniques, the following observations were carried out: the survival and feeding capacity of females after the first oviposition; duration and survival rate in each immature stage of development – egg, larva and pupa; food preference of larvae and adults; influence of environmental factors – temperature, humility and light intensity – on the behaviour of each species; life span and tolerance of females to the absence of blood meal; resistance of immature stages to low ternperature and to immersion in water. The l ife span of the two species was similar; both survived the first oviposition and were able to feed again on blood; both developed better when the females fed on hamster than on man, dog or bird; previous feeding on sugar was not necessary to induce a blood meal. The immature stages of both species resisted to immersion in water for up to 1 hour and to low ternperature (5ºc) for 1 to 6 hours.
