This pest forms a cryptic species complex that displays morphologically indistinguishable biotypes.

Herein, we present our practical strategy to reliably characterize this rare cryptic species.

Mitochondrial cyt b data supports this putative cryptic species in sympatry with others.

Sympatric cryptic species have been identified in the Ae.

Background: DNA sequencing techniques used to estimate biodiversity, such as DNA barcoding, may reveal cryptic species.

We used molecular markers to identify cryptic species.

Traditional taxonomy is sometimes unable to discriminate cryptic species or species that have close morphological features.

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a cryptic species complex that contains some of the most invasive pests worldwide.

Taxonomic revisions of groups consisting of cryptic species, like the Grallaria rufula complex, are imperative for their conservation.

Further study is needed to investigate the potential for arbovirus infection and disease transmission in the emerged cryptic species.

Recent evidence suggests T. dimidiata may be a complex of species, perhaps including cryptic species; taxonomic ambiguity which confounds control.

This study, for the first time, reports extensive new Anopheles cryptic species involved in the malaria transmission in western Kenya.

The low prevalence of Wolbachia infections in cryptic species populations could reflect either a recent invasion of Wolbachia in Ae.

The phylogeny of Promachocrinus phylogroups reveals two principal clades that may represent two different cryptic species with contrasting demographic histories.

Environmental studies using phylogenetic methods for molecular identification have recovered an amazing diversity of unknown phylotypes, suggesting considerable cryptic species diversity.

In this review, we provide a summary of recent advances in the discovery and identification of sibling or cryptic species within mosquito genera.
