Abstract
For differential identification of sibling species in the Anopheles gambiae Giles complex (Diptera: Culicidae), including simultaneous separation of M and S molecular forms within An. gambiae Giles sensu stricto, we describe a PCR‐RFLP method. This procedure is more efficient, faster and cheaper than those used before, so is recommended for large‐scale processing of field‐collected larval and adult specimens to be identified in malaria vector studies.Keywords
