Morpho-cytogenetic characteristic of the mosquito Anopheles artemievi (Diptera: Culicidae), a malaria vector from the complex maculipennis

Detailed morphological analysis of all stages of the mosquito Anopheles artemievi Gordeev et al., 2005 is carried out. Characteristic traits that allow discriminating of An. artemievi and An. messeae Falleroni, 1926 in the area of joint occurrence of these two species are provided. Cytogenetic descr...

Summary:Detailed morphological analysis of all stages of the mosquito Anopheles artemievi Gordeev et al., 2005 is carried out. Characteristic traits that allow discriminating of An. artemievi and An. messeae Falleroni, 1926 in the area of joint occurrence of these two species are provided. Cytogenetic description of the polytene chromosomes from the nurse cells of ovaries is given. Differences of An. artemievi from previously studied species of the complex maculipennis by the structre of the polytene chromosomes from the nurse cells of ovaries are shown.
