Cytogenetic and crossing data provide strong evidence for the existence of another species, dirus E in southwestern India, within the Dirus Complex of Anopheles. These findings are in accord with unpublished morphological observations. Our data suggest a significant genetic divergence between species E and its close relatives, An. dirus A, B and C in Thailand. These data also suggest that dirus E is an incipient sibling species of its geographically nearest relative, dirus D, and that it seemingly co-evolved through the process of allopatric speciation.
细胞遗传学和杂交数据为印度西南部按蚊类群中另一个物种——E型大劣按蚊的存在提供了有力证据。这些发现与未发表的形态学观察结果一致。我们的数据表明，E型按蚊与其在泰国的近亲——A、B和C型大劣按蚊之间存在显著的遗传差异。这些数据还表明，E型大劣按蚊是其地理上最近的近亲——D型大劣按蚊的初始姐妹种，并且它似乎是通过异域物种形成过程共同进化而来的。
