  abstract = {{A}nopheles moucheti {E}vans ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) is a major vector of malaria in forested areas of {C}entral {A}frica. {H}owever, few genetic tools are available for this species. {T}he present study represents the first attempt to characterize chromosomes in {A}n. moucheti females collected in {C}ameroon. {O}varian nurse cells contained polytene chromosomes, which were suitable for standard cytogenetic applications. {T}he presence of three polymorphic chromosomal inversions in {A}n. moucheti was revealed. {T}wo of these inversions were located on the 2{R} chromosome arm. {T}he homology between the 2{R} chromosome arms of {A}n. moucheti and {A}nopheles gambiae {G}iles was established by fluorescent in situ hybridization of six {A}n. gambiae genic sequences. {M}apping of the probes on chromosomes of {A}n. moucheti detected substantial gene order reshuffling between the two species. {T}he presence of polytene chromosomes and polymorphic inversions in {A}n. moucheti provides a new basis for further population genetic, taxonomic and ecological studies of this neglected malaria vector.},
