  1. A1–C12 Phenotypic proboscis characteristics of the An. punctulatus group (see additional file for sketch) after Rozebloom and Knight [34] and Bryan [36]. A1 represents An. farauti and An. koliensis characteristics, B1–2 represents typically An. punctulatus features, and C phenotypes are represented within different species of the group. C13 represents a new phenotype (with a small pale spot behind labellum located in the middle of proboscis and uniform colouring of the wing sub-costa), C14 proboscis phenotypes do not fit into the other categories
