Interspecific hybridization was used to determine the genetic relationships between the four species of mosquitoes in the Triseriatus and Zoosophus groups of the aedine subgenus Protomacleaya (Diptera : Culicidae) . Four factors were investigated : 1) fertility of intra- and interspecific crosses, 2) morphology of the interspecific hybrids and the genetic bases of morphological characters, 3) modes of postcopulatory reproductive isolation and 4) types of chromosomal changes occurring during and subsequent to the divergence of the species .
Hybrid progeny were produced in 11 of the 12 possible crosses between the four species . Only the Aedes zoosophus female X …
