. Electrophoretic keys are given for the six species of the Anopheles punctulatus complex (Diptera: Culicidae) known from Papua New Guinea plus An.farauti No. 2 and No. 3 from Australia. The categories ‘faster’, ‘standard’ and ‘slower’ are used in keys to relate allozyme band migration following cellulose acetate electrophoresis to the standard pattern. Alternative keys are given depending on the availability of different species for use as standards.
