Estudo sistemático-taxonômico de Anopheles konderi Galvão & Damasceno, 1942 (Diptera, Culicidae) do município de Coari, Estado do Amazonas, Brasil.

Abstract

The Complex Oswaldoi is constituted by Anopheles oswaldoi s.s and Anopheles konderi this species are only distinguished until the moment, from the aspect of aedeagus. This work researchs morphometric and meristic for objective to the better characterization of both species of the complex. Collections were made in Coari and Manaus town in the state of Amazon, This samples has been of Anopheles oswaldoi s.l only in Coari. The analysis morphologic and morfometric in larvae, adult females and genitalia of males, From progenies of originating Coari only appear A. konderi was registered local of collects. For characteristics specimens was made In larvae four morfometric measures had been, quantified the numbers of thorns of pecten and determining the middel variation of the number of branches of 179 of the 180 bristles that constitute the quetotaxia. In females had been measured or quantified 18 structures of the head, 8 in the lateral area of the thorax, 11 in each one of the previous and middle legs, 10 in hind legs and 38 in the wings. In the males were determined 12 measures constituent structures of the genitalia. For the immature forms were total of 1.840 characters in 10 individuals and for the adults was 2.436 characters in 23 females and 19 masculine genitalia, totalizing 4.276 measured and/or quantified. The middle had been compared with the gotten from others authors who for the analyses reveal differences statistical, being one in the immature forms and others three in comparisons between the different corporal structures of the females. The datas reveal that populations appear hight morphologic polymorphism and morfometric, this results are similarity from others populations Brazil and Peru.
