Abstract

The adults, male genitalia, pupa and larva are described for Anopheles (Ano.) peytoni, a new species from Sri Lanka. The new species is compared with and differentiated from the most closely related species in the Aitkenii Group, and from An. aitkenii, the other species of the Group recognized from Sri Lanka. The distribution and bionomics of peytoni are discussed, including its man-biting behavior.
