Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) atacamensis (Diptera: Culicidae), a new species from Northern Chile
González, Christian R & Sallum, Maria Anice Mureb
Abstract
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) atacamensis, a new species in the subgenus Nyssorhynchus, is described and validated
using morphological characters of the male and female adult, male genitalia and immature stages. Molecular
characterization employing sequences of the ITS2 rDNA and COI mtDNA are provided. The new taxon is compared
with Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) pictipennis (Philippi) from central Chile based on morphological features of the
adults, male genitalia and larva. Illustrations of the diagnostic characteristics of the male genitalia, fourth-instar
larva and pupa are provided.
