Abstract

We studied the distribution and diversity of Anopheles species in 123 counties (municipalities)

Redescription of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) antunesi Galvão & Amaral and description of a new species of the Myzorhynchella Section (Diptera: Culicidae) from Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil

“…(Galvão & Amaral 1940, Galvão 1940, Forattini 1962, 2002, Gorham et al 1967, Argentina (Darsie 1985, Gorham et al 1967) and Uruguay (Rodriguez & Varela 1962, Gorham et al 1967. In Brazil, the species was reported in SP, municipality of Campos do Jordão (Galvão & Amaral 1940, Galvão 1940, Forattini et al 1997, state of Maranhão (MA), Northeast (Rebêlo et al 2007), state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) (Cardoso et al 2004), municipality of Guaíba (Deane & Neto 1969) and state of Paraná (PR) (Rachou & Ricciardi 1951), municipality of Foz do Iguaçu (Consolim et al 1993). However, in considering the difficulties of identifying species of the Myzorhynchella Section based on morphological characteristics of the adult females, it is likely that the records of An.…”

ConseConsequently, further studies are needed to clarify the distribution of An.…”
