Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis of malarial mosquitoes is performed in Kaliningrad and its vicinity. Two species of Anopheles with biotopic specialization are identified: An. messeae and An. maculipennis. А relatively low level of inversion polymorphism at the sex chromosome and the right arm of the third autosome is established for An. messeae. This is quite natural for the northwestern peripheral populations of the species range.
