  abstract = {{T}he pattern of sequence variation in the mitochondrial {DNA} cytochrome b gene (cyt-b) and ribosomal {DNA} internal transcribed spacer 2 ({ITS}2) was examined in #{A}nopheles funestus$ from {S}enegal and {B}urkina {F}aso in {W}est {A}frica and {K}enya in {E}ast {A}frica. {F}rom both {W}est {A}frican countries, samples included individuals hypothesized to represent reproductively isolated taxa based upon different karyotypes and behaviours. {A}nalysis of the cyt-b data revealed high haplotypic diversity (86%) and an average pairwise difference per site of 0.42%. {S}equence variation was not partitioned by geographical origin or karyotype class. {T}he most common haplotype was sampled across {A}frica (= 6000 km). {A}nalysis of the {ITS}2 data revealed one of the longest spacers yet found in anophelines (= 704 bp). {I}n common with other anoheline {ITS}2 sequences, this one had microsatellites and frequent runs of individual nucleotides. {A}lso in common with data from other anopheline {ITS}2 studies, the #{A}n. funestus$ sequences were almost monomorphic, with only two rare polymorphisms detected. {T}he results from both markers are congruent and do not support the hypothesis of reproductively isolated chromosomal taxa within #{A}n. funestus$. {W}hether the lack of support by mitochondrial {DNA} (mt{DNA}) and ribosomal {DNA} (r{DNA}) sequences is a result of the recent origin of the presumptive taxa, or of the absence of barriers to gene flow, remains to be elucidated, using more rapidly evolving markers such as microsatellites.
