Open ground pools, mainly in depressions made by the treads of bulldozers and other heavy equipment, were numerous but because of their small size, comprised ca. 1% or less of the total area of the deforested lands studied. The dominant mosquitoes in these pools were Anopheles vagus, Culex vishnui, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, and Culex gelidus. The 1st 2 species were dominant in clear pools, whereas the latter 2 species were dominant in turbid pools. The dominant metazoans other than mosquitoes were Crustacea, Ephemeroptera, and Chironomidae. Both aquatic and surface predators were abundant. Dominant among aquatic predators were Anisoptera and Zygoptera nymphs, Dytiscidae, and Notonectidae. These results are discussed in relation to mosquito control on deforested lands that transitionally but inevitably appear during the course of rice field development projects in Indonesia.1 aMogi, M1 aSunahara, T1 aSelomo, M  uhttps://worldodonata.myspecies.info/node/27201266nas a2200169   4500008004100000245008800041210006900129260000800198300001100206490000700217520067500224100003400899700004300933700002800976700004301004856004901047       2005                        eng d00aPredatory capacity and prey selectivity of nymphs of the dragonfly Pantala hymenaea0 aPredatory capacity and prey selectivity of nymphs of the dragonf  cSep  a328-300 v213 aPredatory capacity and prey selectivity of nymphs of the dragonfly Pantala hymenaea (Odonata: Libellulidae) were evaluated on larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) and larvae of the midge Chironomus plumosus (Diptera: Chironomidae) as prey. With functional response methodology, 7 larval densities were exposed to predator individuals in a glass jar under laboratory conditions. The study was performed in 2 experiments. The 1st was a test system with each prey species alone. The 2nd tested a mixture of both prey species in a 1:1 ratio. Prey selectivity and prey capacity were significantly greater on midge larvae than on mosquito larvae.1 aQuiroz-Mart{\'ınez, Humberto1 aRodr{\'ıguez-Castro, Violeta, Ariadna1 aSol{\'ıs-Rojas, Carlos1 aMaldonado-Blanco, Mar{\'ıa, Guadalupe  uhttps://worldodonata.myspecies.info/node/250
