Blood fed virgin females of Anopheles atroparvus did not develop ovarian follicles to maturation. In these females, the ovaries were characterized by small follicular size and little yolk deposition. Only the ovaries of blood fed mated females completed development. Thus, the mating permits the complete maturation of the eggs in these mosquitoes.

Abstract
Blood fed virgin females of Anopheles atroparvus did not develop ovarian follicles to maturation. In these females, the ovaries were characterized by small follicular size and little yolk deposition. Only the ovaries of blood fed mated females completed development. Thus, the mating permits the complete maturation of the eggs in these mosquitoes.
