“…At least one adult male or female of each progeny was used to identify the species using RAPD-PCR. Terminology for morphological characters follows Harbach and Knight (1980), except we used Belkin (1962) for wing veins and Wilkerson and Peyton (1990) for wing spots. The three life stages of An.…”

The Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis complex includes six species: An. albitarsis, Anopheles oryzalimnetes Wilkerson and Motoki, n. sp., Anopheles marajoara, Anopheles deaneorum, Anopheles janconnae Wilkerson and Sallum, n. sp. and An. albitarsis F. Except for An. deaneorum, species of the complex are indistinguishable when only using morphology. The problematic distinction among species of the complex has made study of malaria transmission and ecology of An. albitarsis s.l. difficult. Consequently, involvement of species of the An. albitarsis complex in human Plasmodium transmission is not clear throughout its distribution range. With the aim of clarifying the taxonomy of the above species, with the exception of An. albitarsis F, we present comparative morphological and morphometric analyses, morphological redescriptions of three species and description of two new species using individuals from populations in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Venezuela. The study included characters from adult females, males, fourth-instar larvae, pupae and male genitalia of An. albitarsis, An. marajoara, An. deaneorum and An. oryzalimnetes n. sp. For An. janconnae n. sp. only characters of the female, male and male genitalia were analyzed. Fourth-instar larvae, pupae and male genitalia characteristics of all five species are illustrated. Bionomics and distribution data are given based on published literature records

“…Pupal and larval chaetotaxy were examined, measured and counted for the descriptions. Nomenclature adopted for the descriptions of the adults male and female, larva and pupa follows Harbach and Knight (1980) and Forattini (1996), except for the wing spots and veins, which is that of Wilkerson and Peyton (1990) and Faran (1980). Measurements of the adults and immatures follow Belkin (1962).…”

“…Se consideraron todas las manchas ubicadas en la vena costal según la nomenclatura vigente (14,30), así: basal clara y prehumeral clara (basal pale-BP + prehumeral pale-PHP), prehumeral oscura (prehumeral dark-PHD), humeral clara (humeral pale-HP) (31) preapical clara (preapical pale-PP), y apical oscura (apical dark-AD) (30,32,33). La longitud total del ala se midió desde el alulae hasta la intersección de la vena radial 3 con la margen alar (figura 2A).…”

Introducción. Poblaciones naturales de Anopheles darlingi, principal transmisor de malaria en Colombia, han mostrado plasticidad fenotípica en algunos de sus caracteres diagnósticos.Objetivo. Caracterizar variaciones morfométricas en patrones alares y de pata posterior en poblaciones naturales de An. darlingi recolectados en localidades donde la malaria es endémica.Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron mediante morfometría lineal y geométrica, los patrones de manchas de la vena Costa del ala de hembras silvestres recolectadas en los departamentos de Chocó, Guaviare, Meta y Vichada. El segundo tarsómero posterior de las hembras se analizó por morfometría lineal.Resultados. Se encontraron 19 patrones de manchas de la vena Costa, los patrones I con 49 % (n = 118/240) y VI con 28 % (n = 66) correspondieron a los más frecuentes. La proporción DSIII2/TaIII2 constituyó un carácter diagnóstico robusto debido a representó el 89% (n = 213/240) del total de especímenes analizados. Se encontraron diferencias significativas para la forma (F = 1,65, gl = 50, p < 0,001) y el tamaño (F = 3,37, gl = 5, p = 0,005) del ala entre poblaciones de diferentes localidades. El tamaño del centroide más pequeño 2,64 mm se encontró en poblaciones de Chocó.Conclusiones. Se registraron once patrones nuevos para manchas de la vena Costa y se confirma la dominancia de los patrones alares I y VI para poblaciones de An. darlingi de Colombia. Se confirma que la relación DSIII2/TaIII2 constituye un carácter diagnóstico robusto para la taxonomía de la especie. Se encontraron diferencias en el tamaño corporal de las poblaciones evaluadas, lo que reviste importancia para el análisis de aspectos bionómicos de la especie.
