A description was presented of two kinds of artificial devices which were found useful in feeding for biting midges and mosquitoes on blood and virus suspensions. 1) A feeder invented for Culicoides puncticollis was a dome-shaped cage made of nylon cloth attached to the edge of a celluloid ring 8.5cm in diameter. The bottom of the ring was covered with a piece of gauze. A group of biting midges which was introduced in this cage fed with a highly engorged ratio through the gauze which had been put upon absorbent cotton impregnated with some blood containing sucrose and African horse-sickness virus suspension. 2) A device invented for mosquitoes was composed of a cage and a tube introducing circulating warm water for the maintenance of temperature. A membrane derived from the crop of a chicken covered the surface of the tube. The cavity between the tube and the membrane was filled with liquid for feeding. Blood containing Japanese encephalitis virus virus was fed efficiently by females of Culex tritaeniorhynchus summorosus through the membrane having a wide surface area than those of the streched membrane types.
