ABSTRACT
The occurrence of mosquitoes in the authoring environment of dairy cattle was verified in southern Rio Grande do Sul. For collection of specimens, it was installed a Magoon trap, in which during a couple of cattle-approximately six months of age was placed. Samples were collected during 24 hours, twice a month for 12 months. After 24 hours, the cattle were removed from the trap and the insects were collected inside the trap, with the aid of glass bottles, containing, cotton soaked in acetone. The specimens were taken to the Laboratory of Insect Biology, at the Universidade Federal de Pelotas, to sorting, counting, sexing and identification. Of the mosquitoes caught, specimens of Culex sp.
