German. The biological effects of the IGR cyromazine on the reproductive potential of Culex pipiens and Aedes epacticus when fed to adult mosquitoes via the sugar solution have been evaluated. The results indicated that cyromazine treatments led to a reduction in the egg-laying capacity, but did not effect the hatch of eggs or the biting behavior. A marked prolongation in the time needed for blood meal digestion ingested by mosquito females was also occurred. Moreover, the results indicated that feeding cyromazine to adult mosquitoes was sufficient to inhibit the larval development in larvae that hatched from their eggs. Cyromazine treatments, however, affect neither sex ratio nor adult longevity
