Abstract
A new member, species C, of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex was recently found in collections from the northwest coast of Florida [USA]. 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.
