Correct identification of the sibling species is a foundational requirament for working out a sound scheme in mosquito biosystematics. This paper reports the resuets of biosystematic studies on the chromosomal karyotype, egg microstructure, ribosomal DNA sequences of a second internal transcribed spacer region and polymerase chain reactions of the complex in China.
