Variasi Morfologi Anopheles vagus Donitz, 1902 (Diptera : Culicidae) dari Habitat Air Tawar dan Air Payau (Morphological Analysis of Anopheles vagus Donitz, 1902 (Diptera : Culicidae ) in Fresh Water and Brackish Water Habitats)
Anopheles subpictus had habitat variation and showed genetic difference. So, the variation of habitat of An. vagus may support the hypothesa that An. vagus had genetic and morphology variation, same as An. subpictus.
The aimed of this research was analyze morphology and chaetotaxy difference between An. vagus in fresh water and brackish water. The subject of the study was An. vagus collected from Kesongo Village, Tuntang Subdistrict, Semarang (fresh water) and Jatimalang Village, Purwodadi Subdistrict, Purworejo (brackish water). Anopheles vagus were collected and individually reared. One sample in every batch was used to make larvae skin, pupae skin and adult specimen of An. vagus.
The result showed that there were intra and inter population variation between An. vagus in fresh water and brackish water. The variations were on the size and number of hair branches and filaments. The conclution of this research were the morphology and chaetotaxy of female An. vagus in fresh water and brackish water showed no different. Intra and interpopulation An. vagus in fresh water and brackish water were caused by the difference of geography location (allopatric speciation).
