我们报告一个以前未被识别的蚊子种从哥伦比亚东部属于按蚊（Nyssorhynchus）albitarsis复杂。我们暂时将该分类群命名为An。albitarsis species "F.“到目前为止，亚马逊河以北记录的Albitarsis复合体的唯一成员是An。marajoara和一个假定的系统发育物种，An. albitarsis "E. "与复合体中的其他主要单态物种一样，我们能够使用核糖体DNA内部转录间隔区2（rDNA ITS2）和部分白色基因序列检测其存在。不像安。marajoara，但与复杂的其他物种，一个共同的。albitarsis F缺乏白色基因第四个内含子。本种与安同域分布。Marajoara在一个疟疾流行区在波多黎各卡雷诺，比查达省，哥伦比亚。它可能是该地区人类疟疾寄生虫的重要当前和/或历史媒介，并取决于其实际分布，在哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉的其他地方。
We report a previously unrecognized mosquito species from eastern Colombia belonging to the Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis complex. We provisionally name this taxon An. albitarsis species "F." Until now, the only members of the Albitarsis Complex recorded from north of the Amazon River have been An. marajoara and a putative phylogenetic species, An. albitarsis "E." As with the other largely monomorphic species in the complex, we were able to detect its presence using ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer 2 (rDNA ITS2) and partial white gene sequences. Unlike An. marajoara, but in common with other species in the complex, An. albitarsis F lacks the white gene fourth intron. This species is sympatric with An. marajoara in a malaria-endemic area in Puerto Carreno, Vichada Department, Colombia. It could be an important current and/or historical vector of human malaria parasites at this locality and, depending on its actual distribution, elsewhere in Colombia and Venezuela.
