aSex-ratios of the emerged adults were not significantly different between Culicoides species or habitat types (P > 0.05)
bThe emergence of C. haematopotus and C. loisae was significantly higher from stream sites than from the other two habitat types (P < 0.05)
cThe emergence of C.stellifer was significantly higher from puddle sites than from the other two habitat types (P < 0.05)
dThe emergence of C. venustus was not significantly different between puddle and seepage sites (P > 0.05)
eThe emergence of C. insignis was too low to be included in statistical analyses
