Phylogenetic tree of Anopheles funestus group and two other species collected the study sites. The variance of the strain An. sergentii species identified from the Humbo district of the Wolaita zone of southwest Ethiopia and other An. sergentii strains KT160247 from Egypt: Fayoum, and KT160246 from Egypt: Aswan. Based on a pairwise comparison of the COI sequence of An. funestus and An. sergentii retrieved from GenBank, it can be inferred that the current species belong to the An. sergentii group, rather than the An. funestus group. The comparison revealed that the percentage relation between the COI sequence of An. funestus and the species of interest was 82%, while for An. sergentii, it was more than 95%
