  abstract = {{S}pecies of {N}eomelaniconion ({N}eo.) tire aggressive toward humans and domestic animals, {S}ome of these species play a role in the transmission of arbovirus, {I}n {M}adagascar, separation of these arbovirus vectors was based oil doubtful morphological features. {S}equence variation of the ribosomal {DNA} internal transcribed spacer 2 from morphological {N}eomelaniconion species of the {N}eoniclaniconion subgenus from {M}adagas;car was investigated to assess the validity of morphologically defined taxa, {B}oth methods showed two taxonomic groups: the. {C}ircumluteolus {G}roup that includes {A}edes ({N}eo.) belleci ({L}e {G}off, {B}ousses, and {B}runhes, 2007), {A}e. ({N}eo.) nigropterum ({L}e {G}off, {B}ousses, and {B}runhes, 2007), and {A}e. ({N}eo.) circumluteolus ({T}heobald, 1908); and the {S}ylvaticum {G}roup that includes {A}e. ({N}eo.) sylvaticion ({L}e {G}off, {B}ousses,and {B}runhes, 2007), {A}e. ({N}eo.) fontenillei ({L}e {G}off, {B}ousses, and {B}runhes, 2007), and {A}e. ({N}eo.) albiradius ({L}e {G}off, {B}ousses, and {B}runhes, 2007). {A}lthough sequence analysis failed to completely resolve each group, four distinct patterns of sequence variation supported by several fixed mutations were shown from specimens in {M}adagascar.},
