LC₅₀, LC₉₀ and other statistical analyses of Cu(II) complex against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles subpictus.

Species	LC50  ± SE (ppm)	UCL–LCL	LC90  ± SE (ppm)	UCL–LCL	(df = 4)
Culex quinquefasciatus	58.21 ± 4.21	66.46–49.95	285.70 ± 34.18	352.70–218.70	8.31
Anopheles subpictus	28.95 ± 2.22	33.312–2.60	168.05 ± 23.56	360.79–245.61	8.88

LC₅₀: lethal concentration that kills 50% of the exposed larvae.
LC₉₀: lethal concentration that kills 90% of the exposed larvae.
UCL: upper confidence limit; LCL: lower confidence limit; : chi-square.
df: degree of freedom significant at < 0.05 level.
