Summary :Christophers' stages durations and effect of interrupted blood meal were investigated in laboratory to study the gonotrophic cycle of Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771). A first experiment was done with replete females (full blood meal) and females with an interrupted blood meal. Females were then regularly dissected, the durations of Christophers' stages I, II, III, IV, V were up to 8, 8, 32, 8, 48 h, respectively. A second experiment was done with replete females, females with an interrupted blood meal and females with an interrupted blood meal completed 24 h later. Interrupted females matured 21 ± 5 follicles, interrupted-completed females 92 ± 11, and replete females 120 ± 8 follicles. Christopher I, II, III, IV et V vont jusqu'à 8, 8, 32, 8 et 48 h, respectivement Résumé : DURÉES DES STADES DE CHRISTOPHER ET EFFET DE L'INTERRUPTION DU REPAS SANGUIN CHEZ LE MOUSTIQUE AEDES CASPIUS (DIPTERA : CULICIDAE) Les durées des stades de Christopher et l'effet de l'interruption du repas sanguin sont estimés en laboratoire pour étudier le cycle trophogonique d'Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771). Une première expérience est faite avec des femelles gorgées à réplétion et des femelles dont le repas de sang a été interrompu. Les femelles sont ensuite régulièrement disséquées. Les durées des stades de
