Systematics of the Anopheles barbirostris species complex (Diptera: Culicidae: Anophelinae) in Thailand

© 2015 The Linnean Society of London. This study deals with five species of the Barbirostris Complex of Anopheles subgenus Anopheles that are known to occur in Thailand. Three new species of the complex, Anopheles dissidens sp. nov., Anopheles saeungae sp. nov., and Anopheles wejchoochotei sp. nov.,...
