Mosquitoes of the Anopheles maculipennis complex were collected as overwintering adults in a disused war fortification near the Cliffe marshes in the county of Kent, southeast England in January 2002. Fifty-three adult females were collected and fifty-two of these were identified as either An. atroparvus van Thiel or An. messeae\ Falleroni on the basis of similarity to rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) sequences in GenBank. Forty\ specimens (76.9\%) were identified as An. messeae and 12 (23.1\%) as An. atroparvus. DNA sequences for these\ species from England are provided for the first time, which enhance knowledge of the species composition and\ distribution of the An. maculipennis complex in England.

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.

Allozyme variability at nine loci of Palaearctic and Nearctic populations of Ochlerotatus dorsalis was\ determined. Estimates of genetic variability showed that the Palaearctic population ranked higher than the\ Nearctic population in percentage of polymorphic loci (P: 0.77; 0.33), the mean number of alleles per locus (A: 3.3; 1.8) and value of mean heterozygosity (Ho: 0.263; 0.059). In addition to the lack of identical alleles at Est-6\ locus, genetic differentiation of Palaearctic and Nearctic populations was due to differences of allele frequency\ variances at Had, Idh-2 and Gpi loci.

A method of laboratory colonisation of several European and North American populations of Aedes vexans is described. A colony from the Rhine River Valley, near Maim, Germany, has been maintained in the laboratory for more than 150 cage generations. Another from the Queich River in the Rhine\ Valley of Southern Palatia, Germany has been maintained for 22 generations, and a colony from the\ Ticino River delta of Switzerland has been maintained for 12 generations. Six North American strains,\ one each from the states of Minnesota, Arizona, Oregon and Utah, and the Canadian Provinces of Manitoba and Ontario, are in cage generations 52, 20, 19, 14,41 and 15 respectively. Colonisation of\ different strains of this widespread pest mosquito opens up many research avenues.
