Abstract
In addition to An. farauti described below, two more malaria vectors of secondary importance in Australia are An. annulipes s.l. (inland distribution NSW, VIC, SA, TAS, QLD, NT, WA) and An. bancroftii (northern Australia). The former species could be involved in the transmission of human filaria, dog heartworm and Ross River virus.
