MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF MALARIA MOSQUITO LARVAES STIGMA PLATES
https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2012-2-590
Abstract
The purpose of the given work is the analysis of larvae of malaria mosquitoes
stigma plates of Anopheles genus (Diptera, Culicidae). Three-dimensional photos of stigmal
plates are received from An. claviger, An. maculipennis, An. messeae, An.sacharovi,
An. superpictus. The structure of stigmal plates has been defi ned, a key for defi nition of
sibling species of An. maculipennis complex on territory of Republic of Armenia has been
developed. The analysis of stigmal plates of An. superpictus, An. maculipennis, An.
messeae, An. claviger has been made with use of geometrical morphometry methods. It
was stated that these species of malaria mosquitoes disperse well in the space of relative
deformations. An. superpictus, An. claviger and representatives of complex An. maculipennis
are well differentiated in RW1 and RW2 gradients; sibling species An. maculipennis and An.
messeae are successfully differentiated on RW1 and RW3 gradients. It was shown that the
sizes of Procrustean distances refl ect the degree of relationship between the studied malaria
mosquitoes of Anopheles genus.
