The timing of adult eclosion in forest zone blackflies of the Bandama cytotype of the S. damnosum complex in the Ivory Coast was investigated in the field and laboratory. An eclosion trap and a simple technique for keeping blackfly pupae in the laboratory are described. Hourly collections of newly emerged S. damnosum adults showed that there was an eclosion peak at 05.30-06.30 h in the field and at 07.00-08.00 h in the laboratory. Of the blackflies in the field .apprx. 30% emerged at 06.00-06.30 h. S. damnosum kept under natural light-dark conditions in the laboratory did not show any delay in the timing of the eclosion peak, relative to that of the 1st day in the laboratory, until the 3rd day of the experiment.
