In the rain-forest Chrysops silacea, C. dimidiata, C. centurionis, C. langi, C. longicornis and C. griseicollis were found. In the mountain grassland no Chrysops were found. In the forest fringe C. silacea, C. dimidiata and C. zahrai were caught. In the rain-forest the incidence of infection with L. loa is high, in the forest fringe it is lower; and in the grasslands it is absent. In the rain-forest the Culicoides population is not uniform; the spp. found being C. grahamii, C. inornatipennis, C. austeni and C. fulvithorax. In the mountain grasslands only C, grahamii was found. In the forest fringe the spp. of Culicoides which occur are not known. The incidence of infection with A. perstans is high in the ram-forest; in the forest fringe this infection tends to fall; in the grasslands it is absent.
