Anopheles pharoensis (L)
Anopheles pharoensis Theobald, 1901
Type-loc: Egypt
The Anopheles pharoensis larva is close to that of Anopheles multicolor; it differs from it by its aciculate setae 2-C and its bush-like setae 3-C. In Anopheles pharoensis, the seta 1-I is formed of only 6 to 7 narrow leaflets.
