Throughout the early entomological campaigns in French Guiana (1900-1945), the presence of members of the Anopheles albitarsis Complex was reported in many places across the territory. However, since then no specimen has been caught despite many entomological studies conducted on the littoral and along the main rivers in places where malaria was endemic. We report here the 1st catches in the modern period of specimens of the An. albitarsis Complex in the deep rainforest. During a military intervention, Mosquito-Magnet traps and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light traps were used to sample malaria vectors in an illegal gold mining area and a permanent checkpoint. Members of the An. albitarsis caught were molecularly identified using DNA barcoding. In the 2 sites where An. albitarsis s.l. were caught, all specimens were An. marajoara. As An. marajoara is considered as an important malaria vector in Amazonia, the highest interest must be shown to this species in French Guiana.
在法属圭亚那早期的昆虫学研究活动（1900 - 1945年）中，多地都报告发现了白跗按蚊复合体的成员。然而，自那时起，尽管在疟疾流行地区的沿海和主要河流沿岸开展了许多昆虫学研究，但再也没有捕获到该复合体的标本。在此，我们报告了现代时期在热带雨林深处首次捕获到白跗按蚊复合体标本的情况。在一次军事行动中，使用了诱蚊灯和美国疾病控制与预防中心的诱蚊灯诱捕器，在一个非法金矿开采区和一个常设检查站对疟疾传播媒介进行采样。捕获的白跗按蚊复合体成员通过DNA条形码技术进行分子鉴定。在捕获到白跗按蚊复合种群的两个地点，所有标本均为马拉若按蚊。由于马拉若按蚊被认为是亚马逊地区重要的疟疾传播媒介，因此在法属圭亚那必须高度关注该物种。
