In the British Isles five species of Anopheles have been recorded, all grouped within the subgenus\ Anopheles. They are An. atroparvus van Thiel, An. algeriensis Theobald, An. messeae Falleroni, An.\ claviger (Meigen) and An. plumbeus Stephens. Although Edwards (1936) suspected the existence of An. maculipennis s.s., its presence in the British Isles has never been established. Renewed interest in\ the distribution of Anopheles mosquitoes and their ability to transmit malaria has arisen in recent\ years owing to the potential effects of global warming on insects and insect-borne pathogens in\ Europe.
