Systematics of Anopheles lanei Galvão and Amaral, a species of the subgenus Nyssorhynchus Blanchard (Diptera: Culicidae)

Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) lanei Galvão and Amaral is here redescribed using morphological characteris-tics of adult, male and female, fourth instar larva and pupa. The larva, pupa, and male genitalia are illus-trated. Diagnostic morphological characters of adults, male genitalia, fourth instar larva and pupa are pro-vided to distinguish An. lanei from other species of the Argyritarsis section. Species distribution data are based on the published literature records and bionomics data are based on both literature records and field data
