“…fonsecai. These species have often been mistaken for one another over the years, and to distinguish them, laborious and time-consuming preparation of the terminalia on microscope slides is needed [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ].…”

“…fonsecai was primarily described by Pinto [ 95 ] in specimens collected from eastern Bolivia, but shortly afterwards, the classification changed to Ma. indubitans synonymy [ 63 ]. About 70 years later, Barbosa et al [ 68 ] revalidated Ma.…”

“…This can be explained by gaps in the morphological, biological, and ecological knowledge of most species. The immature stages and adult females of Mansonia (Mansonia) pessoai (Barreto & Coutinho, 1944), Mansonia (Mansonia) cerqueirai (Barreto & Coutinho, 1944), and Mansonia (Mansonia) chagasi (da Costa Lima, 1935) are unknown. The last taxonomic changes in the group were the revalidation of Mansonia (Mansonia) fonsecai (Pinto, 1932) [68]-previously in the synonymy of Ma.…”

“…Bibliographic records show some disagreement regarding the taxonomy of the species in the subgenus Mansonia [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ]. This can be explained by gaps in the morphological, biological, and ecological knowledge of most species.…”

Females of the genus Mansonia feed on the blood of humans, livestock, and other vertebrates to develop their eggs. The females’ biting behavior may cause severe disturbance to blood hosts, with a negative impact on public health and economics. Certain species have been identified as potential or effective disease vectors. The accurate species identification of field-collected specimens is of paramount importance for the success of monitoring and control strategies. Mansonia (Mansonia) morphological species boundaries are blurred by patterns of intraspecific heteromorphism and interspecific isomorphism. DNA barcodes can help to solve taxonomic controversies, especially if combined with other molecular tools. We used cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene 5′ end (DNA barcode) sequences to identify 327 field-collected specimens of Mansonia (Mansonia) spp. The sampling encompassed males and females collected from three Brazilian regions and previously assigned to species based on their morphological characteristics. Eleven GenBank and BOLD sequences were added to the DNA barcode analyses. Initial morphospecies assignments were mostly corroborated by the results of five clustering methods based on Kimura two-parameter distance and maximum likelihood phylogeny. Five to eight molecular operational taxonomic units may represent taxonomically unknown species. The first DNA barcode records for Mansonia fonsecai, Mansonia iguassuensis, and Mansonia pseudotitillans are presented.
