Bloodfed Anopheles maculipennis s.l. females were collected resting in and around sheepfolds in the northwestern prefecture of Florina, Greece. 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.

Revised keys are provided for the identification of the adult female mosquitoes of Greece. Fifty-seven species representing eight genera are recognised. Separate keys are included for the genera and the species and subspecies belonging to each genus. The keys include a number of new characters that have not been used previously for the identification of European mosquitoes.

A study of the mosquito fauna in northern Greece yielded four species not previously recorded in the country. These are Ochlerotatus sticticus from the Axios River, and Ochlerotatus pullatus, Ochlerotatus punctor and Ochlerotatus cataphylla from the Rhodope Mountains. An uncertain record of Ochlerotatus communis is confirmed. Details of the records together with data on the bionomics of the species are presented.
