abstract
Anopheles (Cellia) subpictus Grassi exists in a complex of four sibling species i.e. A, B, C and D. The identification of the species becomes difficult due to the presence of sibling species. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) studies have been conducted for the first time on egg, larva, pupa, cibarium, male and female genitalia to discover new/additional taxonomic attributes which will be incorporated for updating the status of present taxa.
