  abstract = {{E}gges of the 6 named species of the #{A}nopheles gambiae$ complex are described from scanning electron micrographs of specimens obtained from laboratory colonies or wild-caught females. {M}orphometric measurements of eggs from 5 sources of #{A}nopheles arabiensis$, 2 of #{A}nopheles gambiae$, one of #{A}nopheles quadriannulatus$, 2 of #{A}nopheles bwambae$, 2 of {A}nopheles merus$, and one of #{A}nopheles gambiae$ are compared, and relationships are analyzed by multivariate statistics. {N}o morphologic characters were species-diagnostic, although tendencies of the saltwater species #{A}n. merus$ and #{A}n. melas$ to have wider decks and shorter floats were confirmed. {S}pecies and populations overlapped considerably in principal components and discriminant function analyses based on 10 attributes of eggs. {N}evertheless, discriminant functions revealed similarities in eggs of species believed to be most closely related, namely, #{A}n. gambiae$ and #{A}n. arabiensis$, #{A}n. merus$ and #{A}n. melas$, and #{A}n. quadriannulatus$ and #{A}n. bwambae$.
