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.

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.

The specimens were identified as An. maculipennis and An. messeae on the basis of similarity to published DNA sequence data for the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) region. Novel DNA sequences were obtained for the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COl) for both species. Correlations of COl and ITS2 sequences were used to identitfy specimens, with respect to ITS2 sequences in Genbank. These results constitute new distribution records for these two species in northwestern Greece.
