| Abstract | Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) marajoara Galvão & Damasceno (Diptera: Culicidae) is a member of the Albitarsis cryptic species complex and is a primary vector of humanPlasmodium in parts of Brazil. We report the Þrst record of An.marajoara in the department of Cochabamba and conÞrm its presence in the department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. We also describe a PCR protocol producing a single amplicon ( 340 bp) of a section of the internal transcribed spacer 2 speciÞc for members of the Albitarsis species complex; the polymerase chain reaction protocol did not amplify the DNA of 17 other species in the subgenus Nyssorhynchus. Digestion of the amplicon with the restriction endonuclease BfaI produces two fragments speciÞc to An. marajoara in Bolivia. |
