According to the earlier studies of SIRIVANAKARN (1970SIRIVANAKARN ( , 1975, CHAUDHRY (1981) andSAGANDEEP et al (1994) it has been established that the Culex vishnui complex is a group of subspecifi c variants which are similar in the adults and male genitalia but are chiefl y characterized by the differences in the larval stages. CHAUDHRY (1981) made a beginning in the study of genomic studies of Cx.…”

-The present paper deals with the ITS2 sequence based interspecifi c variations and molecular phylogenetics of fi ve Oriental species of genus Culex viz: Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. vishnui, Cx. bitaeniorhynchus, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. mimeticus. The length of ITS2 sequence varied from 323 to 410 bp with G:C content ranging from 50.7% to 66.5%. The sequence carried indels at 221 positions while the transition to transversion (ts/tv) ratio ranged from 0.41 to 0.76 in which Cx. tritaeniorhynchus had the lowest ts/tv value of 0.04 while Cx. mimeticus had the highest value of 0.76. The most frequent transversions were of the A:T type. By using the sequence of Anopheles stephensi taken as an outgroup, the maximum parsimony based phylogenetic tree with threshold (considering only the transversions) showed that An. stephensi and Cx. quinquefasciatus were supported by 100% bootstrap value beyond which all other species got bifurcated into two clades in which one clade consisted of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus + Cx. mimeticus with a bootstrap value of 62.8% while the other consisted of Cx. bitaeniorhynchus + Cx. vishnui with a value of 19.5%.

Polytene chromosome banding patterns have long been used to infer the degree of relatedness among taxa and as a standard reference for locating genes, puffs, and inversion breakpoints of unique gene arrangements. Chromosome comparisons between the species over the time have shown organizational changes in patterns which have resulted in adaptive advantages. An attempt has been made to prepare chromosome map from the ovarian nurse cell of Anopheles (Cellia) stephensi Liston, and to re-evaluate the physical map of this species. The photomaps prepared, were compared with other available maps of the past for the same species. The images of the polytene chromosomes have been straightened and divided by numbered divisions and lettered subdivisions. Tentative inversion breakpoints occurring naturally and that recorded from different insecticide resistant strains of An. stephensi is described in the present map. Some of the re-arrangements acquired have been highlighted in the paper in view to provide an overview of the importance of cytogenetic maps to Anopheles biology and the concept of chromosome evolution.

“…On the other hand, these methods are not always able to detect cardinal differences between individual species (Khrabrova et al 2012). Analysis of the polytene chromosomes of Aedes and Culex species allowing for species‐specific identification is complicated because of the methodological difficulties in spreading of the chromosomes (Sutton 1942, French et al 1962, Chaudhry 1981, Patnaik et al 1989, Campos et al 2003). This makes karyotype characterization and analysis of metaphase chromosomes more informative for Aedes systematics and species identification (Kabanova and Kartashova 1972, Choochote 2001).…”

Karyotypes of Aedes (Culicidae) mosquitoes (Ae. excrucians, Ae. behningi, and Ae. euedes) have been analyzed using the metaphase chromosomes of imaginal discs. Lacto‐aceto‐orcein, C‐banding, and DAPI staining have detected species‐specific features in the morphology and lengths of these chromosomes in the examined species. Species‐specific features of chromosome 1 in the location of heterochromatin blocks have been shown. Thus, the metaphase chromosomes in the imaginal discs of Ae. excrucians, Ae. behningi, and Ae. euedes are a characteristic for species identification of mosquito species.
