The success of any vector control programme relies on knowledge of vector species and their bionomics, which is complicated due to the fact that among the six recognized primary malaria vectors in India, all except An. stephensi are species complexes .There are growing evidences that the members of species complexes differ significantly in biological characteristics that are vital for malaria control point of view such as vectorial potential, host-preference, resting behaviour and response to insecticides. Culicifacies and Fluviatilis complexes are the most studied vector from India, which are togetherly responsible for a majority of malaria cases. This review paper gives an update on recent advances in the field of vector biology, particularly recognition of sibling species, methods for their identification, differential bionomics of members of species complexes.
