在实验室中使用红外电视系统在黑暗中进行观察，研究了冈比亚复合体的交配行为。最大受精发生在两性至少 2 天大时。在光/暗 12:12 中，大多数交配发生在黑暗阶段的第一个小时。此时，雄性触角上有直立的纤维，并对人造雌性飞行音做出最大反应，接近、着陆并试图抓住声源。纤维的勃起和对声音的反应的循环在持续的黑暗中持续进行。在接触时，雄性似乎并不歧视自己的物种和其他物种。之前交配过的雌性会积极抵抗交配，但当被拴住时，无法阻止进一步的内部交配塞的沉积。自由飞行的、先前受精的雌性会阻止雄性沉积内部塞子，但不会阻止射精和沉积外部塞子。冈比亚蚊子和更为人所知的 Stegomyia 蚊子之间的差异似乎与它们不同的习性有关，冈比亚蚊子雄性在有限的交配时间和地点遇到其他物种的雌性或同种雌性授精的可能性较小。
Mating behavior in the A. gambiae complex was studied in the laboratory, using an IR TV system to make observations in the dark. Maximum fertilization occurred when both sexes were at least 2 days old. In light/dark 12:12 most mating took place in the 1st hour of the dark phase. At this time, the males had erect fibrillae on the antennae and showed the maximum response to an artificial female flight tone, approaching, landing-on and attempting to clasp the sound source. The cycle of fibrillar erection and of responsiveness to sound continued in constant dark. Males did not appear to discriminate, on contact, between their own and other species. Previously mated females actively resisted copulation, but, when tethered, were unable to prevent the deposition of further internal mating plugs. Free-flying, previously inseminated females prevented the males from depositing internal plugs, but not from ejaculating and depositing external plugs. The differences between A. gambiae and the better known Stegomyia mosquitoes appear to be related to their different habits, A. gambiae males being less likely to encounter females of other species or inseminated females of their own species at the restricted time and place of mating.
