蠓科(學名:Ceratopogonidae),又名糠蚊或沙蚊(主要在澳大利亞的北領地使用[1]),是蚊下目之下的一個科。本科物種體形細小,身長一般在1–4 mm之間。與同屬搖蚊總科(Chironomoidea)的山蚋科(Thaumaleidae)、蚋科(Simulidae)及搖蚊科(Chironomidae)等物種關係密切。
他們在世界各地幾乎任何水棲或半水棲及在山區找到牠們的棲息地。幾乎所有物種的雌蟲均會以某種動物為宿主來吸血。 庫蠓屬(Culicoides)、蠛蠓屬(Forcipomyia及細蠓(Leptoconops)主要吸有脊椎動物的血。有些Atrichopogon及蠛蠓屬物種是其他較大型的昆蟲的外寄生蟲(ectoparasite)。 毛蠓屬(Dasyhelea)幾乎只吃花蜜。其他屬的物種則捕食較小型的昆蟲。 蠓科物種的若蟲總可在一些潮濕的地方發現的,例如:在樹皮底下、在腐爛的木頭裡、堆肥裡、泥裡、小溪旁、樹洞內或保水植物內(例如:phytotelmata)。
分類
