Abstract
Complexes of closely related species provide key insights about the rapid and independent evolution of adaptive traits. Here, we described and studied a presumably new species in the
Anopheles gambiae
complex,
Anopheles fontenillei
, recently discovered in the forested areas of Gabon, Central Africa. Our analysis placed the new taxon in the phylogenetic tree of the
An. gambiae
complex, revealing important introgression events with other members of the complex. In particular, we detected recent introgression with
An. gambiae
and
An. coluzzii
of genes directly involved in vectorial capacity. Moreover, genome analysis of the new species also allowed us to resolve the evolutionary history of inversion 3La. Overall,
Anopheles fontenillei
has implemented our understanding about the relationship of species within the
gambiae
complex and provides insight into the evolution of vectorial capacity traits, relevant for the successful control of malaria in Africa.
