Anopheles atroparvus ?>Anopheles maculipennis complex
solito de solis
Hey dipterists
I know or I have been informed that Anopheles determination is difficult by only morphologic approach
Nevertheless..
I have observed Anopheles larvae collected in a pond close to the Dutch border, and after bringing on the larvae to the pupa stage, and after waiting exit of the exuvia, to the alive adult insect...

WOuld it be possible with your help to make the most complete approach with features of the three stades (larva, pupa, adult)
I have consulted a lot of litterature about Anopheles morphology
and I'm a little bit lost... with sometimes contradictory informations or perhaps non-correctly understood by my fault

First I thought it was male Anopheles claviger
but... now Maculipennis complex ? Atroparvus ?

I could put here all the pictures needed of usefull details to go ahead : larva-pupa-adult

The larva certainly seems to be Anopheles maculipennis complex. Can you tell whether the postero-lateral spines on the pupal tergites are blunt or sharp? If blunt, the the pupa is also maculipennis complex. If sharp,then it is more likely to be claviger. These two species regularly occur together.

Thanks Mr Irwin
If I follow and understand your question, I can answer with these pictures
This spines are blunt, aren't they ?

Then... Anopheles maculipennis ?

Merci beaucoup

Yes, they look quite blunt, so maculipennis complex. Without eggs or DNA we cannot say any more.
