%X Swarming behavior is the cornerstone of the anopheline mating system. At dusk, males congregate in monospecific swarms in which females come to find a mate once in their lives. Although many Anopheles species coexist in sympatry, hybrids are infrequent, suggesting the existence of strong premating often play a crucial role in bringing sexes together in a speciesspecific manner among insects. While the existence of sexual pheromones in Anopheles species has been postulated, only a few studies developed experimental designs to investigate their presence. Here, we discuss the contrasting and debatable findings regarding both long-range and contact sex pheromones in the context of swarm ecology in Anopheles species.
