BACKGROUND In 1987, Gillies and Coetzee published a pictorial key for the morphological identification of adult female mosquitoes. Since then, several new species of anopheline mosquitoes have been described. METHODS The 1987 key to adult female mosquitoes was used as the template for the current key. RESULTS New species described in the literature over the past 32 years have been included. A list of all currently known Afrotropical species is provided. Anopheles stephensi is included for the first time as occurring on the African continent. CONCLUSIONS An updated key for the morphological identification of Afrotropical anopheline species is presented.
