AbstractChrysops univittatus Macquart females were more abundant in late July and early August in southwestern Quebec. Dry-ice baited canopy trap collections consisted of 55% (n = 177) of the nulliparous and 77% (n = 91) of the parous females. Incidence of nectar feeding, as determined by cold anthrone test, was 73% (n = 244) and 96% (n = 268) of the females contained sperm; no difference was found between parous and nulliparous females. This species is anautogenous, and only one gonotrophic cycle was recorded following ovary dissection. Number of ovarioles was correlated with body size (as determined by wing length) by linear regression analysis.
