The main objective of this research was to investigate a possible Culicidae species populational density and composition alterations in result from human interference in the environment. The human bait method was used in sampling. Culex group coronator, Cx. ribeirensis, Coquilliettidia juxtamansonia, Cq. venezuelensis, Aedes scapularis, Ae. fluviatilis and Anopheles atbrtarsis was found. The disappearance of Mansonia titillans was observed at the same time as the appearance of these species as well as the increasing of populational density of the Cx. group coronator. All the sample organisms showed a twilight food habit with higher activities in months which presented higher temperatures.
