Comment: Anopheles maculipennis is the nominotypical species of the An. maculipennis complex. Three mosquitoes were identified as An. maculipennis s.s among of 20 specimens of the An. maculipennis complex that were subjected to DNA barcoding. These results indicate that An. maculipennis is likely to be quite uncommon in the country, as only 215 mosquitoes (0.9% of all collected specimens collected) were identified as belonging to the An. maculipennis complex, and presumably An. maculipennis makes up a small portion of these individuals. The true abundance of the An. maculipennis complex is likely to have been underestimated in this study due to collection bias.
