The progeny of females collected in Greece were used for detailed morphological study. The morphology of the adults, pupa, fourth-instar larva and egg are described and distinguished from those of An. maculipennis, the nominotypical member of the Maculipennis Complex. In addition to sequence data for the nuclear ITS2 region, partial sequence data are provided for the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene.
