Two species in the Aedes (Diceromyia) furcifer complex, Ae. furcifer s.s. and Ae. cordellieri, occur in southern Africa. They occur either allopatrically or sympatrically in lowland wooded savanna in tropical or subtropical regions in the Northern Province, Mpumalanga Province, and northern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and in Zimbabwe. A map of the distribution of these mosquitoes is presented including 2 new locality records where Ae. cordellieri is allopatric. A morphological study showed that immatures and adult females of the species are indistinguishable. This included a detailed study of the female terga. Differences in the male gonocoxite remain the only means to distinguish the 2 taxa.
在非洲伊蚊(Diceromyia)furcifer复合组中有两个物种,即狭义的非洲伊蚊(Ae. furcifer s.s.)和科氏伊蚊(Ae. cordellieri),分布于非洲南部。它们在南非北省、姆普马兰加省以及夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省北部和津巴布韦的热带或亚热带地区的低地树木繁茂的稀树草原上,以异域分布或同域分布的形式出现。展示了这些蚊子的分布图,其中包括科氏伊蚊异域分布的2个新地点记录。形态学研究表明,这些物种的幼虫和成年雌性无法区分。这包括对雌性背板的详细研究。雄性生殖基节的差异仍然是区分这两个分类单元的唯一方法。
