A new member, species C, of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex was recently found in collections from the northwest coast of Florida. This new species cannot be differentiated from the other 2 species with available taxonomic keys. Evidence for this taxon as a sibling species includes data on hybrid sterility and distorted sex ratios in the progeny of crosses to species A and B, chromosomal differences, and diagnostic allozymes.
最近在佛罗里达西北海岸的采集样本中发现了四斑按蚊复合体的一个新成员——物种C。利用现有的分类检索表无法将这个新物种与其他两个物种区分开来。作为同胞种,这一分类单元的证据包括与物种A和B杂交后代的杂交不育和性别比例失调的数据、染色体差异以及诊断性等位酶。
