Larvae of this species accounted for 0.24% of the Anopheles caught; and were obtained in the villages of Fersesh, Eastern
Zalaghi, Eastern Zez and Mahroo which are of mountainous regions. This species lays eggs approximately in a same
proportion in the permanent or temporary larval nests and so in stagnant or running waters; and this species is heliophilia. It often shows interest in egg-laying in the clean waters; however,it lays eggs in the larval nests with or without plants equally.
Larvae of this species were not found in artificial larval nests (Table 3). Larvae of this species were caught with larvae of all
the Anopheles species of the region except An. apoci.
