尼氏按蚊属（双翅目：蚊科）的蚊种沿非洲的河流沿着将疟疾传播给人类。到目前为止，安。nili组包括Anopheles nili s.s.以及被称为“刚果型”、索马里按蚊和卡那瓦雷按蚊的浅色翅变种。在喀麦隆南部的Campo森林地区收集的幼虫和成年蚊子发现了一种额外的形态变体，暂时称为“Oveng形式”，随后发现其在遗传上与An的其他成员不同。尼利集团在这项研究中，我们提供了进一步的生物学数据，这一新的分类群的特点，并证明海拔特定的职级。我们建议将这个新物种命名为Ovengensis按蚊，以其地理起源命名。我们提出了一个形态描述的成年女性和第四龄和原始数据的生物学，生态学，并作为人类疟疾载体的这种新物种在其类型的位置。我们提供了二分法的关键识别成年女性和第四龄，至少可以在西非和中非的热带地区使用。
Mosquito species of the Anopheles nili group (Diptera: Culicidae) transmit malaria to humans along rivers in Africa. To date, the An. nili group includes the species Anopheles nili s.s. and kits pale-winged variant known as the "Congo form," Anopheles somalicus and Anopheles carnevalei. Larval and adult mosquito collections in the forest region of Campo, in southern Cameroon, uncovered an additional morphological variant provisionally called "Oveng form" that was subsequently found to be genetically distinct from the other members of the An. nili group. In this study, we provide further biological data that characterizes this new taxon and justifies elevation to specific rank. We propose calling this new species Anopheles ovengensis, after its geographical origin. We present a morphological description of the adult female and fourth instars and original data on the biology, ecology, and role as a human malaria vector of this new species in its type location. We provide dichotomous keys for identification of adult females and fourth instars that can be used at least in tropical areas of west and central Africa.
