The immature stages of Coquillettidia and Mansonia mosquitoes are cryptic and spend the duration of their development attached to the tissues of subsurface aquatic plants. This obligatory association makes them difficult to collect and has precluded detailed investigation of the biology of Coquillettidia linealis, a species of significant pest and vector status in Australia, as well as other species in the genus Coquillettidia in Australia and elsewhere. This paper describes the first successful establishment and maintenance of a colony of Cq. linealis. Blood‐seeking wild adults were collected and induced to oviposit under laboratory conditions, where methods were developed to rear larval populations to adult maturity in a colony that was maintained through eight successive generations. Colonies of Coquillettidia xanthogaster and Coquillettidia sp. nr crassipes were also established and reared through at least six generations and five generations, respectively, while two species of Mansonia, Mansonia uniformis and Mansonia septempunctata, were also reared successfully for six and two generations, respectively.

参照其他Coquillettidia和Mansonia物种定居了Coquillettidia linealis（Skuse）。

Coquillettidia和Mansonia蚊子的未成熟阶段是隐性的，它们的发育持续时间长于地下水生植物的组织。这种强制性的关联使得他们很难收集，并已排除生物学的详细调查Coquillettidia linealis，一个物种显著害虫和澳大利亚的载体地位，以及其他物种中属Coquillettidia在澳大利亚和其他地方。本文介绍了Cq殖民地的首次成功建立和维护。线性。在实验室条件下收集寻求血液的野生成虫并诱导其排卵，在那里开发了将幼体种群饲养到成年幼体的方法，该菌落连续八代得以维持。Coquillettidia xanthogaster和Coquillettidia sp。的殖民地。NR莲也建立并分别通过至少六代和五代，饲养，而两个品种的曼，曼uniformis和曼瓢虫，分别也成功六个两代饲养。
