  abstract = {{A}nopheles funestus is a major vector of malaria in {A}frica. {I}t belongs to a group of sibling species that can be identified morphologically only at certain stages of their development. {A} diagnostic polymerase chain reaction ({PCR})-based tool made it possible to differentiate five species of the group. {T}he assay seems to be applicable over all their distribution area for four of these species: {A}n. funestus, {A}n. leesoni, {A}n. parensis, and {A}n. vaneedenip. {T}he fifth species, {A}n. rivulorum, is the second most abundant species of the group and can be mistaken at its adult stage for the major vector of malaria {A}n. funestus. {M}olecular and morphologic observations of specimens identified as {A}n. rivulorum from {C}ameroon and {S}outh {A}frica showed that they belong to two different taxa. {T}he species identified in {C}ameroon, and named here {A}n. rivulorum-like, might extend to western {A}frica and central {A}frica. {T}he species-specific {PCR} assay is supplemented by a primer specific to {A}n. rivulorum-like and thus makes it possible to differentiate the five species of the {A}n. funestus group and the newly defined taxon.},
