Description
Previous records of Sri Lankan Anopheles were most imperfect, and even the number and names of the species present were very doubtful. There was no systematic study conducted for Sri Lankan adult anophelines since 1990. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the species abundance and morphological variations of anopheline mosquitoes in Sri Lanka. Entomological surveys were conducted on a monthly basis from June 2010 to December 2013 in Trincomalee District, using five entomological techniques. Entomological surveys identified a total of 131,804 mosquito specimens belong to 18 anopheline species. One of which was An. jeyporiensis, a species that was not in the checklist in Sri Lanka. Its basic morphological features are similar to the members in Myzomyia series under the subgenus Cellia. Following characteristics were used to confirm the species as An. jeyporiensis; Centre of the scutum covered with short oblong white scales extending back to scutellum; Vein R1 usually with accessory pale spot on preapical dark (PD) area; Foretarsomere 1 with apical pale band nearly 2.0 width of tarsomere diameter.
