Anopheles maculipennis s.l. (F)
In the coverage area of this key 7 species of the Maculipennis complex is known to be present. These can be separated with the patterns on the eggs but molecular analyses give much more certain results.
Throught Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia only Anopheles labranchiae is present.
