Overview of An. fontenillei bionomic characteristics. (A) Red points indicate the mosquito collection sites in the National Park of La Lopé where An. fontenillei specimens were captured. The bottom right corner shows a photograph of the breeding site where one larva of the new species was found. (B) Mean number (black dots) of An. fontenillei collected using human landing catch (human, red) vs. BG traps (trap, green) in the six sylvatic sites (A) Table S1). (C) Morphological features of An. fontenillei: dorsal view of the wing, maxillary palpus and hindleg with femur, tibia and tarsomeres. (D) Images of polytene chromosomes from ovarian nurse cells of An. fontenillei obtained with a contrast-phase microscope (specimen n. 23). Chromosomal arm karyotypes are indicated following the classical nomenclature34. The paracentric inversions are designed by lines (red and blue) above the 3 R(b) and 3 L(a) arms, respectively.
