1) Four sets of experiments were devised to evaluate the absolute size of aedine larval populations. Three methods were used and compared: 'capture-recapture', 'removal' and 'dipping' methods.(2) The results show that 'dipping' gives estimates of population size similar to those obtained with the two other methods, providing that a strict procedure is followed.(3) Since the 'dipping' technique is particularly easy, the results offer new possibilities for the study of population dynamics in Culicidae.

En Guadeloupe, plusieurs espèces de Moustiques colonisent les terriers du Crabe terrestre Cardisoma guanhumi. Parmi les cinq espèces identifiées, l'une d'elles, Culex habilitator, n'avait encore jamais été signalée dans ce département. First mention of Culex (Culex) habilitator Dyar and Knab, 1906 in Guadalupe (French West Indies) SUMMARY. In Guadalupe, several species of mosquitoes colonize the holes of the terrestrial crab Cardisoma guanhumi along the Canal Perrin (Grande-Terre). Among five identified species, one of them, Culex habilitator, had not yet been found in this "département" until this time.
