  abstract = {{T}he chromosomal polymorphism of {A}nopheles funestus sensu stricto from {A}ngola was analyzed from indoor-resting samples collected in 11 peri-urban and rural sites of the {L}uanda and {H}uambo {P}rovinces, which are > 450 km apart and have distinct eco-climatic conditions. {F}ive polymorphic paracentric inversions were observed (scored chromatids range = 202 to 248): 2{R}a, 2{R}h, 3{R}a, 3{R}b, and 3{L}a. {I}nversions 3{R}b and 31-a were highly polymorphic; the 2{R}a and 3{R}a arrangements were absent in {L}uanda. {N}o significant departures from {H}ardy-{W}einberg and linkage equilibria were found at the locality, commune, or province level (sites <= 50 kin from each other), indicating panmixia in each locale. {P}ooling the {L}uanda and {H}uambo samples produced a {W}ahlund effect, with significant levels of genetic differentiation suggestive of restrictions to gene flow due to geographic distance. {T}he observation that differentiation was limited to inversions 2{R}a and 3{R}a can also be interpreted as divergent selection acting on these chromosomal regions between populations from the two provinces.},
