Species 6 of the A ustralasian A nopheles farauti sibling species complex ( D iptera: C ulicidae) is described and formally named A nopheles oreios B angs & H arbach, sp. n. Adult, pupal and fourth‐instar larval specimens collected in the B aliem V alley, P apua P rovince, I ndonesia, are characterized and compared with those of A nopheles farauti , A nopheles hinesorum , A nopheles irenicus and A nopheles torresiensis (formerly informally denoted as species 1, 2, 7 and 3, respectively). The variable wings of adult females, the male genitalia, the pupa and the fourth‐instar larva of A n. oreios are illustrated and DNA sequence data are included for regions coding for sections of the mitochondrial COI and COII genes. The biology of A n. oreios and its relation to malaria transmission are discussed in detail and contrasted with the biology and disease relations of some members of the A n. farauti and A nopheles punctulatus sibling species complexes.
