Progeny broods of An. maculipennis s.l. from Greece were identified as An. subalpinus Hackett & Lewis based on egg morphology and the original species descriptions. DNA sequence data from members of the progeny broods were compared to previously published sequences for members of the An. maculipennis complex. The sequences were 99.54-100% identical to those of An. melanoon Hackett, typified by its uniformly black egg. These results are discussed in relation to those of other workers, and An. subalpinus is formally synonymised with An. melanoon.
